Artists Statement

For the past few weeks in art we have been focusing on etching and creating our etchings useing one of our collages from the last unit of work, plastic sheet of paper, etching needle, ink, mixed media paper and a printing press. The techniques i used in this piece of assesment were crosshatching and drawing lines close together to make dark areas of the image. If i were to describe my work to someone i would tell them all the things you need to know to create an etching and all the important techniques, i would also tell them where i used the techniques in the piece. Etching has been a good art technique to use and gave me a more deeper knowledge of balance in images etc. I have enjoyed this unit of work and i look foward to what we will be doing next term.
