How did you create your print?
I sketched the face onto linoleum in pencil and traced over the lines with a waterproof pen. I printed this piece on black paper, so I cut out the darkest values in the image first, like the pupils, the nostrils, and the hat. I covered an ink roller with pink and laid it down on the black paper. I rubbed the back with a spoon to make sure the pink ink transferred. Then I washed the linoleum and carved details for the next-darkest color, which was green, and laid that down. I repeated the same process for each color. White was the brightest value, so I printed that layer last.
How did you use shape to compose a face?
I looked at each part, like the eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows, and I imagined how I would draw lines so they would form shapes. I used the shapes to create a face.
