3/30/2018 0 Comments February blog updateThis month we worked on embroidery and my piece was a set of clouds in different colors with different stitches. we began the unit by putting a piece of cloth into our hoop in order to make a space where we could practice stitching. I started with the running stich and eventually learned back stitch, box stitch, french knot, etc. when i began my own project, i got a medium sized needle that would make string insertion a bit easier. then, i drew out my clouds with pencil onto the sheet and began my project. i don't have a picture of the final one, but i have a picture of the inspiration i went off of attached below.

3/26/2018 0 Comments January blog updateThis month we worked on printmaking. For my printing project i made a penguin on a printing block. i STARTED BY GOOGLING LINOLEUM CARVINGS TO GET IDEAS AND I ENDED UP GETTING MY INSPIRATION ONLINE AND TRIED TO MAKE A GOOD COPY OF WHAT I SAW FOR THE ORIGINAL ONE. i LEARNED HOW TO USE DIFFERENT SIZED CARVING TOOLS IN ORDER TO MANIPULATE MY PIECE TO MAKE IT HOW I WANTED IT TO LOOK. ONCE I GOT MY GOOD SHAPE, I COLORED IT ALL BLACK AND PRINTED IT ONTO ANOTHER SHEET OF PAPER. at first it came out with a few extra lines ON IT, so i had to go back and re-carve where the extra lines came from. AT THE END OF THE UNIT, I ENDED UP BEING PRETTY SUCCESSFUL BY CHOOSING A QUICK PROJECT FOR MY FIRST CARVING. bY CHOOSING ONE THAT I KNEW WAS going to be fast, i was able to finish soon enough to correct my mistakes. i included pictures of my piece and lizzys piece with before and afters to show the process of making one of these.
