The process of printmaking has many steps. First, you pick out a picture you like and you draw it from that picture off of the web. Then, you trace the picture onto the carving block and use a sharpie to make black what you want black and leave blank what you want white. You then, start carving all the blanks to make the white. Then you roll ink onto the block and roll until you get an orange peely texture. After you have done that, you get a piece of paper that fits with the size of the block and smoothen the paper onto the wet ink block to get the print.
I incorporated the theme of line into this piece by giving line detail to the petals, the fuzz on the bee, and the whole entire piece. What I found successful about this piece was the fact that I was able to transport the detail in the flowers from the picture to the block and then onto the print and still have it look realistic. What I might change if I were to do this again would be to give more detail to the bee and make the lines more precise around the piece.
