What I did to create this piece was carve out markings in a sheet, what I had carved out would be white on the paper, and what I didn't carve out would be black ink. I incorporated lines in this project because the water which is the background of the piece I did a bunch of random lines because when a shark swims the water moves so I tried my best to make it look like water was moving from the tail swishing around. I honestly don't think I would change anything, I like my thought behind the random lines for water and even though I didn't carve all the way out for the top picture, because it shows some black specks I missed I really like it because sharks are usually a little cut up and it gives it character. The top picture is my best of the printmaking and the bottom picture is my worst of the printmaking.

Inspired Artist
The artists who inspired me are designer Olya Glagoleva who did a collaboration with a artist named Lisa Smirnova who is Russian. They design clothes that have been embroidered to look like paint splotches and patterns. The thought they had behind the clothes they have designed is that you're very likely to have paint or other art supplies splattered on you by the time you're done with your piece, so they have now created clothing to make it look like this, but instead using a stitching design that Olya and Lisa call Paint Splotch Embroidery. These artists grabbed my attention when scrolling down the page because their work looks like they just came out of a art class that had finished painting. It looked so natural I was intrigued by what it was.
