Title: The Good, The Bad, and The Fear
|
The cross in the center represent Jesus that is the son of god and one person in the big world can have different sides between good and evil so the left side is the glass mirrors from the house of god and the right side is the claws of the evil. The patterns in the cross is the design to show texture to create more details when making the dry point but also their was two types of details that can be between the lightness and the darkness. I chose the cross because it's simple to do but it really means a lot towards my religion.

Process
1. Brainstorming
Coming up with some solutions for your idea or provide a list that connect it to artistic inspiration/culture or personal experiences. |
2. Planning
Make at least three or more sketches for your Dry Print.
|
3. Photo taking
Taking the picture of the sketch that you plan to create in the Dry Print.

Artistic CultureFor the dry print my design would be my religion relating my block print because there are many reasons why my religion is my best choice. I have a full respect on what I believe in and how I would keep hoping that I would be provided with protection every day from danger that comes to my path that surrounds me and my family. I feel more of my sketch and plate being a Hispanic culture because some people in Mexico are sick so their option is to pray and hope for good to help fight their illness and take god serious in any situation. The American culture is another country that believes in god even equally with the Hispanic culture but today's modern world there are many catholic schools with Hispanics that worship god in his name. You can relate the piece into many reasons why it's a culture work because the American culture the claws can mean that someone made a sin and god can be a friend that can help them change their life by making an impact from their lifetime struggles, pain, and sufferings. Anybody has problems and we try to resolve them to find a bright side to their background from their story and people look up to god before they worship the lord's name. The culture went through the years of being know and today in modern time people take an advantage of their action and preventing things that affect other that surround them leaving the afraid and tears. A sign is what a person needs to help them direct them to safety with their families by pray on what they believe which is the son of god who's been call Jesus.

ReflectionDuring the process of my dry point project there was a couple mistake in the project and a lot of step to process the ink to the special type material of the paper. The first struggle was to figure out which part of the step that would go first because there are many step that would occur during the progress. After a couple of time trying to put the ink against the wet plastic paper you'll have to wait for eight minutes while scraping the ink on the plastic. When I was getting use of the same step over a while I performed and perfect design for the religion. The simplest part of the project was to think of my design such as the block print because the ideas I had for my obsession was another way I could use it for my dry point. Before I began the process I wanted to do the baseball theme because I enjoy playing it as a sport and find it as a passion for playing on many teams throughout the years.

Behind The Meaning
I choose this design because I had many bad choices in my life and I needed something to help me get past through the hard times I suffer during the years of my childhood. The cross says that there is always hope in everyone as long as they have faith in themselves on becoming good and staying away from the negative influence that leads to the dark paths. I believe since that I lived a miserable path in my childhood I would want people to NOT go where I been through because no one wants to suffer the way I did because It would be hard to control the mix emotions with the sadness and the anger building up inside a human soul. every day and night I thank god for anything like helping me survive a miserable night but when he doesn't answer my prayer I stay in my room for another day. When I was little I didn't know much people when I was at school because they never brought interest to themselves so I talk to no one but pray that my day would get better from days to months.
