Sixth Sense: "Not So Simple Green"





I used the materials in the homework packet, plus watercolor paints, block printing ink, masking tape, a leaf from Lauren's yard in Florida, and gloss gel medium. My print didn't transfer well with my brayer so I removed the tape from the plate leaving white spaces where the tape was. Then I added watercolor paint to the white areas, as well as pieces of other papers and the leaf for a combination of ideas from both classes at UF and came up with a multimedia piece. I feel like it shows the sense of artistic growth I felt the past two weeks. I just wish I could flip the image so that the growth goes in the opposite direction....that was a result of turning my plate into my art piece.
