What didn't work well: After doing the water color butterfly, I realized that I like the oil paints better.  I feel like water color spreads very easily, it is hard to control where they bleed to. Also, and it was hard to get such a vibrant color that I was hoping for. ]]> 2018-01-30 19:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226272708 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226275608 What worked well: I feel like the colors came out very vibrant, and it was easy to create many different colors. 

What didn't work well: I feel like it was hard to tell where there was still white spots. Though there are lot of white spots, that I did not see when I was painting, hopefully, I can go back and use sharpie to cover up the white spots, and define the colors. ]]> 2018-01-30 19:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226275608 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226277126 What worked well: I feel like there was still enough paint left over to create a good gost print, and hopefully, I can use it for a later project coming up.

What didn't work well: I feel like I did not let the paint dry even, because there are spots where there is a lot of paint, and spots where there is barley anything. ]]> 2018-01-30 19:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226277126 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226281062 What worked well: I feel like the darker colors showed up very well, which made the cactus's pop out from the sunset in the background.

What didn't work well: I feel like this was not my best because I messed up while painting, and it was very clear when the final print came out. ]]> 2018-01-30 19:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226281062 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226281125 What worked well: I feel like there was plenty of paint left over, which had a cool affect, and made it look like an actual desert scene. 

What didn't work well: I feel like the part that didn't work out for me was that I did not pick out a sheet of paper that was big enough. With a bigger sheet of paper, I would be able to get a nice big boarder around the monoprint.]]> 2018-01-30 19:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226281125 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226286664 What worked well: I feel like color of the rain came out very vibrant and in very nice little streaks.

What didn't work well: I feel like the color in the girls umbrella was too dry, which made it come out in clumps, with a lot of paint in some places, and not a lot of paint in other parts. ]]> 2018-01-30 19:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226286664 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226286792 What worked well: After I added a little bit of paint to the parts that came out with barley any color the first time, I now think that the girl comes out more defined. 

What didn't work well: The part that didn't work well was the rain, because all of the paint came off on the first print, and there was not much oil paint left over for the ghost print.  ]]> 2018-01-30 19:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/226286792 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232113898 2018-02-15 19:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232113898 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232114546 2018-02-15 19:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232114546 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232114982 2018-02-15 19:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232114982 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232121256 2018-02-15 19:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232121256 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232121677 2018-02-15 19:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232121677 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232141480 One thing that helped me a lot during this project, was doing lots of practice pieces. This allowed me to get the right amount of ink, which looked translucent. Meaning that you put on a good amount of paint, but you would be able to still see a little of the clear sheet underneath.
Another thing that I thought was helpful, was using a pen, because I was able to get nice fine lines, and it was easy to keep my wrist off the paper.  (Not leaving lots of chatter.)  ]]> 2018-02-15 20:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/232141480 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238850314 2018-03-06 19:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238850314 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238855499 2018-03-06 19:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238855499 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238855795 2018-03-06 19:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238855795 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238856121 2018-03-06 19:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238856121 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238856434 2018-03-06 19:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238856434 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238857405 2018-03-06 19:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/238857405 https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/251910062 2018-04-15 17:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/251910062 https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/251910146 2018-04-15 17:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/251910146 https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/251910335 I really liked this unit, and some tactics that helped me was to work super fast! If I spent to much time on spreading the paint, then it would dry.  Also, some paints worked out better than others.  Like I felt the green paint worked the best, and the black was hard for me to get a nice even print because it was drying so fast. Also, I found out that I needed to wash the linocut a lot, because when it was clean, it printed a very clear image. ]]> 2018-04-15 17:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/251910335 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262465818 2018-05-21 18:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262465818 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466039 2018-05-21 18:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466039 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466207 2018-05-21 18:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466207 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466385 2018-05-21 18:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466385 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466585 2018-05-21 18:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466585 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466789 2018-05-21 18:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262466789 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262468107 2018-05-21 18:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262468107 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262807378 I really liked this unit because I was able to make multiple prints of one subject. Some did not turn out very well, but others were perfect, it was just a lot of trial and error. I felt that going through once with the flower worked well, and for the prints of my sister, I went through twice, and it worked really well. I feel like the number of times you put the print through depends on your subject, and what material you used. I would recommend trying it all different ways, because what works best for me, might not work well for others. ]]> 2018-05-22 18:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262807378 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262808740 I liked the Gelli prints because they were fun, and super easy to make. I felt like they worked best as backgrounds, and I used them for four of my flower prints. Using the roller with the gelli prints allowed for the colors to mix and make various colors. The gelli prints allowed for an ordinary print to look brand new and different from the others. ]]> 2018-05-22 18:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/262808740 orojas https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/263132166 2018-05-23 18:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/orojas/2hgb0kyhv7nl/wish/263132166
