Line-o Cut Final

For this project, I wanted to create a type of glitch-like effect with the final piece. I do not particularly think I accomplished this, however, as the piece instead looks a bit messy because I had messed up the paint or tried to add too much detail. I was also trying to work on texture and dramatic shadow, since that really seemed to be the major themes while working with line-o cut prints. The most difficult challenge was printing, itself. For the effect I had wanted, I would have to wait for the paint on the bottom layer to dry for a day before putting on the next. The task of making a glitch-effect was thus difficult to accomplish because it would have taken too long. I do like, however how the face on the left turned out. I think it manifests itself as almost what I had in mind. Something I need to remember is that I do not need to add so much detail. I could have accomplished something just as good as this, or better, if I had just left out the tedious details of the print. The mentor I used was Nicole Didudch who showed me about great texture and color through her works. I had an artist's work in the class that I liked, although I don't know her name, and her work was very pretty simply because it was so simply cut. She had two sockets for eyes, simple hair texturing, and I could tell it was a person just from little amounts of great detail. If I had a do-over I would do the same and make the piece a mot more simplified. I do like my idea of having it work with  glitch effect, but I, again, think I could have gone about it in a different way.
