My goal for this project was to have fun experimenting with a new medium. I had never even heard of block printing before we started this. I accomplished my goal by sticking with it even when I thought things were not going to turn out well. What surprised me most was how badly it turned out. I was really not impressed with the outcome but oh well it was fun to make. The most difficult challenge I had to face was cutting out all the details. I met that challenge by sticking with it. I think it really works in the background, its very solid and the ink is very solid. I learned that making a plan is very important. Gabe did very well on his project and I learned that its always a fun option to experiment. If I had do over, I would probably choose a different picture. I think the bricks are the best.

She did very well blocking out the shadows. If I had a do over I would probably work more on blocking the shadows. I think the best part of my art is the sha...
