I love the sinister cat at the bottom. It reflects my soul.

My reflections:

I may or may not just be salty that I am bad at carving, but this activity feels like a waste of time to me.
I don't feel that this activity triggered my artsy senses at all. I don't feel very creative when I am doing Lino Print. It is nothing more than carving uselessly on a piece of rubber and making ink marks on a piece of paper with it. Maybe Lino Printing isn't my cup of tea.
I mean, I've always felt that I dislike drawing traditionally with brushes and knives etc other than drawing with pencil.
Please accept me into Art Club. I have experience animating and I can contribute by animating anime people for the school. Please leave a good note for me. I will be a great asset in Art Club, although I can't paint or make any sculptures in any way. You did see my drawing of a person as testimony to my skill.

Step 1

This is where I plan my Linoprint, as well as the different colours I'm going to use.

Step 2

This is where I transfer the plan onto the linoprint with pernament marker

Step 3: I cut out the white areas and print Yellow; the colour of my skin.

Step 4: I cut the yellow parts for the print.

Step 5: I print the blue part over the yellow part.]

Step 6: cut out blue parts to print black

Finish product!!

Reflections:

I don't really like this medium of art, because it is way too troublesome to prepare a lino sheet, carve on it and have the time to slowly spread paint on it and stamp it on the appropiate paper material. I think this is the main issue here; it causes a huge mess when we do lino printing and its time consuming and personally I don't feel that it is worth it to put so much time and effort into such a medium of art. Nevertheless it is quite interesting to do this.
