Element Print Project 2011

My element was hydrogen. Hydrogen is used for rocket fuel, welding, for filling balloons, hydrogenation of fats and oils, and bombs. I created a rocket taking off because hydrogen is used for rocket fuel. I didn't want to the first idea that popped in my head, therefore; I did some research beforehand. First, I sketched some rockets and finally decided on one. From there, I took my sketch and traced in onto tracing paper. After that, I moved that onto the block. To get a good print, I scratched the linoleum away and my design came to life. The last step was rolling the paint of the block and pasting it on the paper. I loved this project; it was unique. This project taught me new techniques that will help for the future. I would love to do this project again. If i was doing this project again, I would want to carve out a more complicated design to better my skills.
