Today's Class- Today we looked at printmaking, a general category for art that is typically created in multiple exact copies from a fixed matrix, such as a carved wood block, an etched piece of copper, or a prepared silk screen. We looked at slides covering the history of printmaking from the Renaissance through contemporary art. Then students made collograph plates that will be printed in class at a later date.
How to make this up- Above are examples of printed student collograph prints. All are to be printed with black ink, though students have the option of adding color as in the second example. Full details as to how to create your own collograph plate can be found here. All the materials you need can be found around your home.
Homework- The completed collograph plate is due at the beginning of class on April 14, 2010. At that date the plates will be printed in class with ink and tools that I'll provide. The photography assignment that was distributed last week is also due in class on April 14, 2010.
For next class April 7, 2010- We will be starting the first individually graded art project of the semester. Bring your 18"x24" pad, pencil and eraser, and your pastels.
