Print and publishing 3rd day

Today we have been learning how to sun print which wasnt as good as yesterday but still it was pretty fun (besides the amount of times i screwed up). First off we had to choose some shapes whether they were ones that the teacher provieded us or ones of our own choice, then we had to outline them on a piece of paper just to kind of see which style we want and how we want them to turn out. Once youve chosen you take the objects/ shapes and put them on a piece of sun printing paper and then pin the paper down to a piece of cardboard, leave them in the sun, wait 2 minutes and then you can remove them from the sun, then you simply brush the paper with water and... BAM!! youve just done a sun print. =] and heres my sun print...

Print and publishing 2nd day

Today we did some drawings using the mono printing method in which we rolled ink on to a plastic board, we then put a piece of A4 paper over, stuck it to the table so it wouldn't move and drew as we wish. As we did we had a drawing and a painting in black and white we then took then used a big rolling machine to stamp it on to another piece of paper, so we had it in negative too. I actually thought it was going to be boring but truth be told i rather enjoyed myself, Im very much looking forward to seeing what else we will be doing soon.

Relief Printing

                                                                Landscape  Carla Trujillo

A relief print is an image created by a printmaking process, such as woodcut, where the areas of the matrix (plate or block) that are to show printed black (typically) are on the original surface; the parts of the matrix that are to be ink free having been cut away, or otherwise removed. Printing the image is therefore a relatively simple matter of inking the face of the matrix and bringing it in firm contact with the paper; a printing-press may not be needed as the back of the paper can be rubbed or pressed by hand with a simple tool such as a brayer or roller.

Intaglio

“Mermaid” by Stephanie Ann Johanson

intaglio printing is where the ink goes beneath the original surface of the matrix which is normally copper or zinc, the incisions are usually made by, engraving, etching mezzotint and aquatint.
