Finished carving linoleum
Ideate:
I wanted to show the design and lines of the butterfly's wings, so I made the black lines black and the orange wings white.
Feedback:
It is good, but it could have been made a bit neater on the top and bottom, and some on the sides.
Reflection:
I should have made the lines larger and more clear, and lines appeared on the top and bottom because it touched the ink roller.
Process And In-Progress Work
Process
I looked at pictures of butterflies, and studied the designs on their wings. I then started drawing them, and kept drawing until the wing looked right.
Problems I Had And How I Solved Them:
IWhen I started, I couldn't get the shape and size of the lines in the butterfly's wings right. I studied the wings and practiced drawing, and started to get better at it.
Finished Work:
Critique (review) of Work:
I should have taken more time to make the lines look neater, and I could have put flowers or other, small butterflies in the background. It looks sort of plain with just the one butterfly in the middle.
