Jonathan- Printmaking- Element

My element was indium, atomic number 49.  Indium was discovered in 1863 by Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter. Indium is mostly used for components for devices or other technology, for example, it can be used for making a transistor. I researched and found that Indium is made up of space satellites, so that is what I made for my print. In the process of making the print, I drew rough sketches of my drawing, then traced my final drawing on to the printing plate, backward. After that I printed three different copies, it took me a lot of tries to get it right. If I were to do this again I would make my satellite way more detailed, I would add more satellite dishes, and make the solar panel, more detailed. My favorite part was printing, I really liked the suspense of seeing how the print was going to turn out.
