I grew a lot from doing this project. It took a lot of patience to print them the first time then with the two other colors. In all i think i printed over 40 times. If i could start again, as i stated in my revise and refine I would definitely have dug deeper in the chatter lines. Honestly i think i have met my goals for this piece because it came out how i wanted and it reflects off the meaning i was trying to get across. My biggest risk for this print would have to have been when i was carving. I had to be careful what i carved because i can always take more away but i cant glue back what has been already carved.
Based on the feedback that I received the chatter lines were showing up in my print and making it stupid. I agree the chatter did somewhat ruin my print. As you can see there is excessive chatter which clouds up my print and takes away from the meaning i want. I can simply fix this by removing the chatter lines by carving them out deeper. When i removed the chatter lines I see my piece as being very successful. It goes together perfectly and the chatter lines don't take your attention away from the print.
I grew the most because I have improved many of my artistic skills. I now have more patience with my artwork since doing this book was very time consuming. If i had the chance to restart i think i would change the font on the front cover the font is kind of hard to read. I don't think i have met my goals for this piece but SURPASSED my own personal expectations for my piece with the time and effort i put into this. My biggest risk would have to have been when I made the big deep square cut in the middle of the front cover. Once i made i hole i couldn't go back and it turned out to be one of the best parts of my book, so it was a success.
As Rachel critiqued my paper she noticed how on this certain page where i cut out a deep imprint of a bar bell the pages were not held to together and overall it looked sloppy and didn't make much sense to why it was like that. What I did after I got this information i simply put a couple of pieces of tape behind the first page so it could hold on to the previously taped pages. I think my whole book is successful right now every single one of my pages goes along with each other and they all together help reflect the meaning of my project.
So far a lot of things are going very well for me in my piece. The directions of the carvings i made go very well with the direction of my piece. The image can be clearly seen which means i matted it and rubbed it perfectly, because i can see the four different color very easily which is making this very easy for me to do now. Honestly there isn't much that isn't working except for a few cuts being deeper than other, but that really isn't an issue. The only problem I've ran into would be carving precisely and not cutting myself in the process of doing it. I solved them both by carving more slowly to increase accuracy and carefully to reduce the risk of cutting myself. No i have not changed anything from my original plan and everything is going great so far.
