My goal in this art piece was to create a unique print in my own artistic style. I accomplished my goal through my inspiration of a linocut artist (who I am still trying to find the name of) I found while researching different linocut ideas. The most difficult challenge I had to overcome was drawing a simplistic version of my dog to cut for the print. I met this challenge by following the aforementioned artist's simplistic animal prints. I think that my print really works with the bold outline around Gracie. Through this project, I learned that great art doesn't have to be complicated. If I had a do-over I would fix how I cut out the eyes. It's barely noticeable, but I don't love that they are uneven. I feel like the background colors really made a great addition to what was originally going to be a black and white print and now the art really pops with the added contrast.
