In my block print I used a finalized, carved block and various ink colors including red, purple, pink and black to create a picture. I made a rose to express many different layers using only accuarte big shapes. Another technique I learned consisted of using the back of the block to depict white elments in the picture, or in other words negative space. The variation in carvings created a sense of value. Additionally, color is another main art element present because it brings out the true shape of the rose. This is important because it proves that anything can be illustrated using only big shapes once a piece of art is simplified down to the basics.
