Marbling Paper

Going into this activity today I honestly had no idea what I should expect. I never knew anything about Printmaking and I still know very little about what it actually is. Despite my lack of knowledge and the inclement weather that faced me, I went in with an experimental attitude. Experimenting allows me to fully experience an activity without any possibility of disappointment. I've found through previous artistic endeavors that actually planning something out just ends badly. This being said, I did plan out my different color schemes. I quickly learned that my favorite technique involved scrambling the dark ink with the fork to make a melded marble pattern. After first trying it, I used that technique for every different paper. Within the last few seconds of the activity I made my favorite pattern by just plopping it down over the mixed up remnants of a previous paper. Great things can come from spontaneous actions.
