Element Print Project 2011

​My element is palladium.  My element is used for jewelry but mostly rings.  It is also used for surgical tools.  For the print I used Athena's shield, helmet, and spear.  I used this because the element is named after Pallas(Athena).  I thought it would be cool to have it showing the armor instead of trying to have a person.  First thing I did was to sketch out different ideas.  I had an asteroid and a ring for the other two suggestions.  Then we traced the drawing backwards on the linoleum plate.  With a cutter we cut out all of the negative space.  For to print it we took a roller and rolled different color inks on the block.  After that we took paper and rubbed it over the block and took it off.  I really liked this project.  It was interesting.  I think that my final product came out pretty good.  I like how the shield and spear turned out.  I would do a better job cutting it out if I would do it again.
