I started out with a plan. My print had to include at least three colors, so I decided on brown, green, and red/ yellow. After I created my image of a flying bird among branches and leaves, I traced it onto my block and cut out the image. After each color, I cut away the part that I wanted to stay that color. In order to complete the assignment I had to complete several prints: 6 identical prints, 1 print on a found material, 1 print on a created material, and 1 multiple print. I started with the 6 identical prints. I soon discovered that I had to do more prints than those assigned in order to make enough acceptable prints. Two of my found materials turned out well, so I have included both instead of just one. I decided to make my found material by painting a piece of paper with watered- down acrylic. The multiple print was hard because it used a different technique. I had to figure out how to line up the block with the transparent paper. During the process, some unwanted ink got on the paper and smudged. I fixed this by painting the paper with watercolor.
