Embroidery was something i have never done before and it was very cool to learn. We used embroidery floss, a hoop, and a needle with thread to create out artwork. We learned about Faith Ringgold and she is an amazing quilter. She was a school teacher but quit to become an artist and make quilts. Here is an image of what i was creating in my embroidery. In the month of January we worked on printmaking. We first started out using EZ carve to get use to the carving tools and to learn how they work. Once we got the hang of the EZ carve we moved on to using linoleum blocks. These blocks were harder to carve with but if you warm them up they are easier to work with. Once we carved out our designs ( i chose to do a cardinal) we used ink and a brayer to evenly distribute the ink onto the blocks. We would put a piece of paper on top of out block once we put the ink on and push down to make sure the print would transfer. Printmaking was fun and a little difficult.
