I did Artists Create Original Art/Artists Communicate Through Their Work because for new theme pressure, I chose to do water as in water pressure. I chose to do water because I'm not sure if you know this but I was born in Brownsville, Texas which is very close to South Padre Island. Every summer we go down there to visit my grandparents and to go to South Padre beach. I love the beach and due to the fact that I was born very close to it, I feel like the water is part of me. I have a shirt that says "Del Mar" which in spanish means "Of The Sea." That's the source from where I got the idea of doing water and to make the water not look so boring I chose to do a boat on the water because when I retire (from whatever I will be doing) I plan on having a sailboat.
I also did Artists Develop Art Making Skills because I learn a new skill which was carving with the lino cutter and used that technique into my work. I learned that I have to carve away from myself so I do not cut myself. While I was carving waves of water my skill of carving with the lino cutter greatly increased. When I was carving the boat I learn that I had to be precise with my lino cutter so that the edges of the boat would look nice and sharp. I also learned that with different cutting tips I could show the different types of depths that the water had.
