Printmaking

My element was barium and it's number 56. Barium is not a very useful element. It is unstable in air or water so there's not much we can do with it. The only thing people use Barium for are fireworks and stomach x-rays. I got the idea to use a witch in my picture because after some research, I found out Baium has history in Witchcraft. Because Barium reacts with air and starts to glow  if anyone was using or holding Barium it would be glowing because of the air. A long time ago people though the glowing was a sign that the person near it was a Witch. So I was inspired to draw a classic Witch. First I sketched through the drawing-a lot, then I use transparent paper to carve in my design with a pencil. Then I rubbed paint all over it and pressed it on a regular sheet of paper. This was how I made the print. I really enjoyed making the print because we had this cool roller to make an even coat of paint. And of course it made a really great result for a lot of work.
