Print Making Reflection By Tim

Print Making Reflection

 1. Are you pleased with your prints? Why / Why not?
Yes, I am pleased with my artwork, because I like the colours and the dye.

 2. What is your favourite print and why? Crayon Rubbing, Crayon and Dye, Dry Ink and Wet Ink My favorite print was dry ink, because it soft and smooth.

 3. What is your least favourite print and why? My least favourite one was crayon and dye, because it didn’t look great and it came out too dark.

 4. What did you find easy? The part that was easy was the crayon rubbing.

 5. What did you find hard? The part that I found hard was the roller, because you have to press hard and your hands can get tired.

 6. What would you do differently next time? I would do my athletics athlete the wrong way, so when I ink print, it will be the right way. 7. Who / What has helped you in the printmaking process? The people that helped me was Angel, Caitlin, Mr Blackmore and Miss Paton.

 8. What is something you have learnt from printmaking? What I have learned from printmaking was not to remove the paper too quickly, as the result will not be good.

Valerie Kasanita Adams is a famous shot putter. She is in the Olympics for  shot putting. Valerie has broke many world records to make New Zealand proud. Valerie is a sports star.

Valerie mother died when she was 15 years old. Her mother had found about her cancer and died the following year in 1998.  Valerie mom  inspired her alot. When Valerie won shot putting she looked up to the sky and it reminded her about her mom. She was very special to Valerie.


Valerie was a shy and sporty girl. At school Valerie enjoyed playing basketball like her younger brother. Valerie went to the school of Otara Primary school. Valerie Adams was the tallest girl in her class.

Kristen Hellier helped Valerie through her grief after her mum died.  Valerie Second  coach was Didier Poppe. In 2010 Jean Pierre Egger her third coach and she has done  very well under him.


She broke the record for shot put  in bare feet in the Junior championships. Valerie threw the shot put at 19.66m in the Melbourne games. At the Beijing Games she threw shot put at 20.56m. These achievements were world records. Valerie had her first gold medal when she won the world youth championships in Hungary in 2001. Valerie is a champion and a star.
