Studio Practice Posting: Print Process

description

Share a printmaking process with the class via our D2L site (only one process required, but share as many as you would like). Ideally it should be a printmaking process that relates to the methods we are covering in class this quarter or a “sister process” that are close to the methods we offer in class, but if it’s a really great process that is totally unrelated, just talk to me about it first!

The process can be something you experimented with yourself, a different take on something we’ve covered in class, or something you found online. Folks find great resources online, so this is a rich area to share. To show the process, include some mixture of the following: a photo or photos that show the process, a video, a step-by-step or other type of description, a link to something online that describes the process well visually or through words.

Some processes will be complex involving multiple steps or supplies and others might be really simple.

process:

· Think of a process you developed or discovered or saw and think could be useful to you or to others.

· Post a photo or photos that show the process, a video, a step-by-step or other type of description, a link to something online that describes the process well visually or through words in the D2L discussion board labeled “Studio Practice Posting: Print Process”

· Tell us a bit about the process or what it allows you to do if it is not self-evident in the posting.

· Give it a title that will help make it searchable.

· Check out the other class posts. Optional: comment as you see fit.

examples:

· Technique for printing large pieces by adhering smaller sections together.
Here is a printer/historian examining the archives of artist Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) and printing two sections to adhere together to make a single piece. See the video section timestamped 13:30-14:40 https://www.nga.gov/stories/videos/print-great-elizabeth-catlett

· Lithography (a planographic method)
