404's photographics

Monoprint is described as " a single print taken from a design created in oil paint or printing ink on glass or metal." and it is what we tried out in the start of "greenman" using both paper and plants and then pain on glass. In the project "greenman" we were given multiple tasks that all had the same theme "greenman" or mainly just nature and plants. I glued dry grass and leaves on paper and then painted on top of that, put a paper on top of it and pressed it and this is how it turned out, not exactly how I planned because of all the thick paint spread. It's supposed to be a man, or rather an elf, leaf elf maybe. But you can barely see his nose and ear because of the paint that spread after it was under press. I tried something similar but with paint only on glass, I painted a simple scene of a mountain and a forest but because of how smudged the painting always looked after pressing it I gave up after 5 attempt...

It's been months since I last posted anything on this blog, but here I am. This project was a bit different from previous works we've done. It was more or less just a bunch of testing different techniques. The first thing we worked on was a portrait of Photo & Graphics. So I took a few pictures and edited them together to represent what we do in Photo & Graphics. So this was the first thing we did, made a portrait of this class. The person in the photo is one of my classmates, I got her permission to use her in my portrait. I actually didn't use photoshop for that, I used Firealpaca and I used clipping over a picture of a photo camera, and then blended together the photos I had taken. I did the same with the writing. I personally think it turned out pretty great. I'll post more soon, juuust after I've uploaded a few pictures to my pc.
