Final Stamp Design

Posted by Adil Shamsud-Din in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

This Stamp symbolizes me because, the letter A stands alone, and i stands alone. the letter a is a basic and simple letter, it's not trying to prove something or stand out with something else. I Adil is never really trying to make someone look stupid, or trying to stand out with someone. the letter A can be put together, and work together with another letter. i can work together perfectly fine with someone. i got my final design really easy, i got this idea because, one one of my friends told me before that i stand out. they also told me that i work together, so that's why i got that idea from. the importance of the negative and positive space of this image is, the Letter A is popping out, and eye catching. i got stuck at where i didn't know if i should have put the border on, because, i did not know if it was important to have.

Printmaking: Arsenic

Posted by Diamond Wallace in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

Arsenic was obtained by heating soap together with orpiment by Albertus Magnus. Arsenic has three common allotropes, gray, yellow, and black arsenic. Yellow arsenic is the most unstable and the most poisonous. The element name arsenic comes from the ancient Persian word Zarnikh, which means "yellow orpiment". I put the word arsenic in grafitti to give it a good look. A can of spray paint is toxic and it contains certain chemicals that arsenic have. I also have a jar of arsenic laying down that is spilled as if it was just used. I made three different drawings. After I found the right one, I started to print. At first I had to draw over my drawing really hard. After that, I painted over my drawing with the right amount of paint. Once I finished, I took paper and put it on there like a stamp, when I removed it, it looked nice. I repeated this multiple times with different colors.I would do more rainbow colors if I was to do this assignment again. I enjoyed painting the drawing the most. It was fun.

Printmaking: Bromine

Posted by Kennedy Fields in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

The element I had in focus for this assignment was Bromine. Bromine is 35 on the periodic table, which is the atomic number. Bromine is based on the Greek word bromos meaning stench. Mix of chlorine and iodine. People can used promise as a water purification system. It can control the algae and bacteria levels in pools, and or hot tubs. Since, Bromine can be used to purify water in pools, I chose a design that reflects that. In my printout I drew a dropper dropping into a pool of 10ft. To make this print I traced it from my sketchbook, then traced it backwards on my printing pad. After all the tracing was complete I got paint and rolled it on my design. After rolling and even amount of paint on my printing pad, I laid it paint side down on a piece of paper and applied pressure. Since, I was absent Thursday, I wasn't able to take a picture, but if I had the chance to do this assignment over I'd make a design were once you trace it on the sketch pad it's easier to make out. In my design there were parts that were difficult to make out what it was

My element is silver and the atomic number is 47. Silver can be fund in antibiotics to stop the spreading of an infection. I got the idea of drawing a cream by looking up where can silver be found in everyday life. I explored with the different colors of paint doing solid color to gradients as you see in the picture above. I would use a little more paint to fill out the white spaces. I enjoyed the stamping part the most because this is where your picture really gets so character.

Print and Matt Procedure

My element is Rubidium, the atomic number is 37. Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff, in Heidelberg, Germany. The reason I choose a rocket ship was because Rubidium is used in vacuum chambers and engines in space. My process was first to draw an image on a piece of paper. Next trace it onto trace paper. Then you have to put this onto a plate backwards, meaning that the picture should be reversed. Then put ink on the plate on the and put a piece of paper on the ink covered plate. Press the plate lightly on the paper and transfer the image. Let dry. My favorite part was when we drew our image. 

Platinum: Print Edition

Posted by Siarra Cummings in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

​ My element was Platinum, number 78. It was discovered by Antonio de Ulloa He was a spanish general of the navy, an explorer, scientist, author, astronomer and the first spanish governor of Louisiana. He discovered it in 1735 but it was being used by pre-Columbian Indians at that time. It is in Earth’s crust of about a millionth of 1 percent.The first thing I thought about when I got platinum was platinum records. Music is something I like and doing this was going to show my love for music and my element. My process for this was kind of hard because I am not good at making straight lines so making the border was the hardest part. Also making the print was hard because I messed up so much. Especially when we were putting the paint on the shiny paper. I would probably make my picture A WHOLE LOT BETTER. I think that I did a horrible job on it and it looks horrible. I would do the whole thing over again. I probably would've enjoyed the part where we were making the picture better if I made it better. I really like to draw and I didn't do a good job at making it.

Week 9 - Day 1 & 2 print/matt

My element is beryllium and the atomic number four. My element was discovered in 1798 by Nicolas Louis Vauquelin. Its uses include the make of computer parts, missiles, and aircrafts. I chose to draw a missile because I thought since beryllium is a key use to make a missile, I would draw one heading into beryllium. The process I went through was researching how to draw a missile, then I did a few test runs and sketches before making it look really good. If I did this project again, I would want to add more to my print, but more detailed and details. The most enjoyable part of the project would have had to be seeing the finished product.

Donald Moses: Palladium

Posted by Donald Moses in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

 

 

 

 

My element is Palladium which is referred to as Pd on the periodic table and its atomic number is 46. My element was founded by William Hyde Wollaston in 1803 after melting platinum with acids and found little pieces of palladium. Uses for palladium today include catalytic converters for cars, jewelry, and dentistry tools. One fun fact is that palladium was used for cold fusion research. Well I made the 46th as it was so I had more room for the Pd as I made Pd look like it had pieces of palladium like when Wollaston first discovered palladium. First I drew the template into a 4 x 6” square. Then I drew the image on a small piece of paper that was see through. Then I flipped the traced picture onto a piece of foam then pressed the lines of the drawing so that those parts would be my negative space you could say. Then I took a roller with some paint on it and I tried my best to make 6 good prints. If their was anything I would do differently would be when making the prints I took some paint off the roller as some of my images I could barely see the lines. I would say trying to make the prints with the roller as it was enjoyable to try and was hard to get right.


Potassium

Posted by Janiya Collins in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

My element was Potassium, Atomic number 19. it was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy through the process of electrolysis way back in 1807. it's name was derived from the word English word Potash, which is where it can be found. Potassium is an Alkali metal, which is group 1 of the periodic table. 

Potassium can be found in foods like bananas, avocados, fish, potatoes and more. It is used in fertilizers and also in the making of glass. The idea for my image was based on how potassium is used in fertilizers and can also be found in natural foods. So I drew a vine, in the shape of a K because K is the symbol for that element. (you can see the K better if you turn it to the side or tilt your head). I drew this vine to represent plants and growth. (fertilizers help plants grow, and those potassium rich foods help people grow). 

To do this project, I had to do research on the element, which luckily was easy enough for me because I already had done a project on this element before. Then i had to think of an image that could represent this element and be 4X6'' (not bananas! That's boring). at first i wanted to draw stained glass because it is used in the making of glass, but I didn't like the way it turned out, so I decided I wanted to do a K in calligraphy. eventually it started to look like a plant so I continued with that idea and drew leaves. After the drawing I traced it onto a piece of parchment paper and turned it so that it was backwards and traced that onto my plate. After that, I rolled paint onto my plate, stamped it onto a piece of white paper, and chose the neatest nicest ones to be matted. 

I then cut my image to the right size, 4X6''. To Matt my images, I chose a piece of construction paper and measured it to be 6X8". finally I glued my cut image down to the middle of the paper so that it has a 1'' boarder. there aren't many things that I would do differently because to be completely honest i loved this final project and i think it turned out well. I think the only thing I would do differently is be more careful with the paint, because I made a few stamps and kept messing them up because I wasn't careful. 

My favorite part of this project was the designing process. I like to draw and even though I was frustrated a lot, the final outcome was amazing in my opinion. I think it was very creative and i thought outside of the box for this one. 

Final Print Masterpiece ~ Aluminum Airlines

Posted by Rahmir Powell in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

My element is aluminum and the atomic number is 22. Aluminum was found in 1825 and the first scientist to mass produce it was Hans Christian Oersted. Aluminum can be used in many ways, such as kitchen utensils, cans, window frames, aero planes, and much more. I got my idea because I saw that the main use for heavy aluminum was planes, so I decided to draw one, and call it Aluminum Airlines. I went through an artistic process in the making of this print. First we drafted a sketch, then traced the sketch, and finalized. Then we got to using our ink and rolling it onto paper. If I did this print one more time, I would be more patient with myself. Lastly, I enjoyed everything about this project. I got to really challenge myself and in the end, I created something special.
