water color transfer prints



water color transfer prints

the process 

When we were assigned this project we were asked to use one of our previous projects and print it out. Then we were asked to water color a piece of paper that we would later put our project on. When those steps were both complete we had to mod podge the picture design side down so that the pictures ink would print on the water color. Then we had to use a squeegee and get all of the extra mod podge and air bubbles out from the picture. We had to wait for the mod podge to dry before we scratched the paper off. Two days later we used water to scratch the paper off of the water color. Once we finished that our picture was onto of our watercolor. 

using tools

I used a lot of new tools for this project.  I had only worked with mod lodge once before this but I have never used it on a project like this. I had also never worked with a. squeegee before but I will definitely use it in the future because it was very helpful and got most of the bubbles out.  I also have never used the technique of using water to peel the picture off or this printing technique. 

final product

I was very pleased with the final product of this project. I was surprised on how nicely the ink printed on the water color. When we started this project I thought that it wasn't going to turn out. I could have done better as far as pealing the paper off and making the print look smoother but it still looks great. I hope we get to do another project like this in the future.

My personality type

After taking the Meyers-Briggs test it said my personality type was ENTJ. I am 9% extravert, 16% intuitive,1% thinking, and 16% judging. The test also said I take control of the situation and if there is a problem I try and fix it. I try to find new solutions instead of using other solutions I've used in the past or things other people have done. I like to plan out everything I do and set goals for myself while helping others set theirs, I also tend to share my knowledge. I went to another site and it said I like to spend my time talking to others. It also said I think through all of my decisions before I make them. I excel at logical reasoning and am quick-witted. People who have my type of personality are usually refered to as the commander because of our drive to take charge. We also went to a website where it told us celebrities who have the same personality type as us. A few people who are ENTJ are Napoleon because he was a general and emporer of France, Bill gates b...

Maddy Samuelson Sidewalk chalk

On the first day we got our teams and started thinking of ideas that we could draw that would symbolize each one of us. But the symbols had to sort of have the same theme throughout the drawing. So we each came up with four ideas that we could use. Some were similar and some not at all. For my symbols I chose a red rose which means promise, a sun which I think means happy, a tree for nature, hearts for love, and an American flag for USA. To be similar we all tried to do nature related things but like I said before some were a little off topic. On day two our groups started sketching the things we wanted to draw on paper. Some things that people chose they didn't like anymore so they changes some symbols. What I did is I had a few symbols from the day before and I added some so that I could fill all of my space up. I We also had to decide how we were going to draw all of our symbols on the ground. We wanted to be able to tell that we all had different ideas so we divided our sq...

vector illustrated portrait

vector illustrated portrait pre-production When we were assigned this project we were asked to take a picture of ourselves, siblings, or a pet and turn it into a vector portrait. I chose to use a picture of my dog because in that certain picture he had just came back from getting a hair cut and they put a cute bow tie on him. The sun was also shining through the window which made his fur have a variety of colors.We had a choice between an organic vector project and a low poly geometric portraits. I chose to do the low poly geometric portrait, which is when you make tiny triangles on the picture and then fill them will color. I thought that this kind of portrait would look better on an animal than the organic portrait would.  production My time spent creating in illustrator was very enjoyable. I found making all of the triangles relaxing. While working on this project I became more comfortable with using the pen tool. It was a little hard at first because I didn't know ho...
