The colors were unnatural, such as the seaweed in my painting. Most seaweed are greenish, but I made mine very colorful. The expressionists painted to express how they felt about something that they were drawing. In this project, I thought that a fish would represent me best because I'm small and I'm usually calm. They painted animals, objects, and people by drawing them unrealistically, but not like a comic. I chose my animal as a fish because my height is small and I'm usually calm. As the fish color, I chose the bluish color. I added a lot of water to it so that it would get really light. On the seaweed, I used a lot of different colors except green. I used Bleeding Wash from Primary to Secondary on one of my seaweeds. I used dry brush on another seaweed, rock salt on 2 seaweed, and feathering on one of my patterns. If I could do it over, I would have not made a mistake on the bottom brown and the orange seaweed. Also, I forgot to erase the pencil marks before so it kind of showed. I liked the fish most in my project. In the picture above, it's not shown very clearly, but on my actual, the fish looks neat.

Now that you've finished your linoleum printmaking project, let's reflect on the process! Answers must be in __complete sentences and in paragraph form__. You may need to write 2 paragraphs. Please answer these questions below. You can type the answers to your questions on Pages, or Text edit. I will grade your answers on your Voicethread. (instructions will follow.)
 * 1) Define positive and negative space. **2pts**
 * 2) Did you use mostly positive or negative space in your design or an equal balance of both? **1pt**
 * 3) Did you have a motif for your project and if so what was it? **1pt**
 * 4) Did you use interlocking design? If yes, how? **1pt**
 * 5) Which type of Balance did you use on your project? Symmetrical or Asymmetrical? (Review your digital portfolio to help you answer this question.) **5pts**
 * 6) Write 3-5 sentences describing the printmaking process starting with the materials you used to cut your linoleum and ending with how to print. Use the following words in your description: linoleum, gouge, brayer, charging, burnish. **5pts**

Answers 1. Positive space is the tiny details or little things that are detailed. Negative space is when you have not much detail, or the background color is usually white or bright. 2. In my drawing, I usually used negative space. My design had only a few details and they where in the inside parts of the design. 3. I did have a motif. I got my idea from the design we created in Social Studies class. My motif kind of represented peace and "supreme". They were curvy lines that looked like dragon tails. Inside them, I drew curved- zig zag lines because it was too empty. 4. I didn't use interlocking designs, but I mostly drew negative space. 5. I used asymmetrical balance on my drawing because I had the same three motifs inside the circle. They all were similar in weight. However non of them were symmetrical. 6. First you sketch out a design then dig it on the linoleum. Then you use a gouge and carve the parts you don't want on your print. Next you spread ink on a plate, then you use the brayer to spread the ink. Then, you keep charging on your plate you spread the ink on. Lastly, you burnish the ink on the paper and rub.

Part. 2 I think that I wasn't very successful at the printing part because I accidentally moved the print sometimes. I also couldn't match the print with the paper well. The biggest challenge I had was when I didn't gouge it deep. I had to gouge the print again later. If I could have changed the project, I would have changed it by changing the design a little bit. Inside the circle, I had a few drawings but there were all too together. I was most proud of the final piece. When I cut the leftover paper pieces, it looked okay. One Point Perspective Room Critique media type="custom" key="5766751" The theme of my room is a study room. I chose a study room because I thought that if I stayed in a room like this, I would be able to study harder, so I drew a calm, peaceful study room. My unexpected environment was the ocean. Being in the ocean is completely opposite from studying, so I thought that it might be really good for an unexpected environment. In this assignment the biggest challenge was to get the idea of what kind of room I should do. I first thought of a store in a mall, but I thought that my unexpected environment that I had in mind was too similar to the room, so opposite to a shopping mall, I made a small study room. Something that I am really proud of is the drawer. I don't really like the color, but drawing a drawer was really hard. When it was too empty, I also drew a flower, and some books to fill it. I would've had the chance to change anything, I would change the criteria. I didn't really want to put holes. However I still liked the unexpected environment. The reason I want to change this is because I had to cut a whole WALL out.
