My favorite part of this project was the carving part because I really liked the way the EZ carve cut when I used the tools. My least favorite part of the project was trying to be precise with the tools when I was carving because even though everything looked good, there were still pieces that showed up on the paper that I had missed on the EZ carve. My inspiration for the subject of my print was probably how it was really hot in school on the day that we designed our projects and the theme was nature. If I were to redo this project in a different way, I would definitely make the design less detailed. The first design that I wanted to do was a sailboat but I couldn’t do it because the design was too detailed for me to do with the carving tool. I would print my stamp on a different piece of paper than I chose too. Some of the concepts that I learned while doing this project was how to hold the carving tools correctly, which will be useful in the future when we have to carve linoleum blocks. Also I learned how to put ink onto the EZ carve block with the brayer. Something that surprised me while creating this artwork was how easy it was to carve on the EZ carve block. It was a lot of fun to carve on it.
