Mono-printing

 Kia Ora, Today I'm going to tell you about what we have been in our art class, this week we have been learning about mono-printing, first we had to do our drawing which we had to make it similar to Henri Rosseaus paintings, which is of course, nature-based. Then we got out or ink paints and rollers, rolled some paint on our paper and traced out our drawing. Here is how mine came out.

(classmates drawing)

how long were we working on it?

we started about 2-3 1/2 weeks ago. But we did not start straight onto the painting, we took 4-5 periods to finish of our nature-based drawings, and we used the rest of the time tracing our drawing and painting it. 

How was your experience?

doing this in art was fun, I loved how I improved my creativity and I think I became more better in drawing. But mostly I loved how closer I came with my classmates and discovering their creative skills.

What is your painting?

This is not my drawing, but the owner let me borrow it for painting. The painting are bunched up flowers with big and small leaves inside of it. You can see the outlines of the drawing in the mixed up colors.

What is Fermentation: Fermentation is the process of food processing in which` turned into alcohol by the action of microorganisms (yeast and bacteria) This process is used to make alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and cider.

Explanation: Fermentation is a process that produces chemical changes in organic substances through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is barely defined as the extraction of energy from Cx(H2O)y, the absence of O2.

What are enzymes? a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring out specific reactions.

What are the best conditions for brewing? Normal beer fermentation temperatures are up to 20-22 degrees and lager (light-colored beer) fermentation temperatures are from 7-13 degrees. Keep it out of the light. especially if the fermentation dish is clear, but ideally keep it out of light. Light will make the alcohol stink. It's probably better if you have a closet or someplace else in the dark to ferment

Results:

although it smelt like diarrhea, it tasted very sour and disgusting, we all have similar tastes but two boys had better-tasted ones because I think of the amount of sugar they used.
