I Can Dream My Own Dreamby ~blazingrunaway

Traditional Art / Printing / Etching

_{I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons)
I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams)
My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me.
So I'm gonna set me free.
-Cinderella by The Cheetah Girls

This was done for my Visual Arts class's printmaking unit. We had to choose a quote from a book/song/whatever that we can interpret from. *points to the above* Every girl dreams of their own wedding with their special someone right? xD

Gosh, this thing took forever! It didn't take as much time as my linocutting print that I did last year.

I finally managed to pull 3 prints out of like, 12 that looked similar this week. The other 9 prints looked either too dark or I pulled too much ink from the plexiglass.

Since this project is due tomorrow, I'd thought I should scan this in. I'm quite proud of it.

Sorry, I kinda went inactive from dA; I've been so busy with my bio and chem work. My art classes are adding up the stress pile lol.

I'll post some pictures of the very first print that I made with the plexiglass (and the template itself!) later.

EDIT: Re-uploaded it because I wanted to adjust the lighting. xD

--------------------------------------------
_{Done with: Plexiglass, dentist tools (? I don't even know what they're called LOL), printmaking ink (dunno what it was called, I'll check back later), cartridge paper.

Time Taken: 2 weeks+

Printmaking last year in art was fun. We carved linoleum tiles though. And we pretty much just made a nice design instead of anything meaningful.

And next week, we're doing printmaking again. This time, we can choose between spray-paint stencils, watercolor silkscreening, and linoleum carving. I think I'll do linoleum again, but I haven't decided what to do for a subject. I've got like 5 thumbnails drawn of potential subjects, and I keep drawing/thinking of more.

Haha, I love printmaking too! The only downside for it that it takes forever. xP;

Good luck on your final decision, you're so lucky to have so many options!

~TheUnknownDemon May 2, 2010

Yep. The only downside is we have like 2 weeks to do it, because then, we're working on our final project, which is painting a 3D star.

~blazingrunaway May 18, 2010 Student General Artist

Oh wow! That sounds really fun; our time for print making was limited too.

~TheUnknownDemon May 19, 2010

Yeah, I finished carving my plate and I've been making prints. I've made four so far, but only one turned out good, and I need 6 good ones. I plan to finish it next class, which is tomorrow.
