The purpose of my project was to show texture by carving and printing the shades to look like the photo. My texture was visible and it showed some hair from the tiger and some details on his nose and face. I was able to show this texture because I looked at the picture and saw the way they are placed on the photo and carved them to match it. I chose this texture because the tiger looked cool.
First you pick which block you want and then you carve into the block with tools for each color and then you put ink on the block and press it on a piece of paper and keep doing it with each color and shade and then you get a printing of what picture you chose from carving away a block. This is a reduction print because I followed the steps and there's different colors carved by different layers. This is a relief print because I cut away the block to show texture. In printing registration is the precise alignment of different layers of color or different print methods on a single document.My learning process was good i did not know what to do at first but then I got the hang of it. The challenge about this project was to make sure I carved in the right places and put it on the paper the right way so that the print could look good. I think that I succeeded at making a good print and showing the texture and carving the tiger.
