to create an
edition
of identical prints
Lithography
Etching
Woodcuts
Screen printing
A form of printmaking that has images or lines that can only be printed
once
is called a
Monoprint
/Monotype
“Printed painting”
Energetic / Gestural / Impulse / Chance
Slide3Monoprint vs. Monotype
Monoprints
- permanent features on
plates, often etches or engraved.
Variations
result from
how
the plate is inked.
Monotype
- no mark is permanent on the printing plate.
Each print is unique.
Slide4What is a printing “plate”?
A “
matrix
” that the original image is created on…
Traditionally used:
Metal plates
Lithography stones
Wood blocks
Contemporary artists use:
Plexiglas
Gelatin
Sheet metal
ANYTHING!
Slide5How do I get the image onto the “plate”?
Painting
RollingDrawing Stamping Collaging

Green Landscape (
Paysage vert)c. 1890
Edgar Degas
(French, 1834
– 1917)
Slide10Monotype: “printed drawings”
'First you roll out printer's ink on a sheet of paper of any sort; then lay a second sheet on top of it and draw whatever pleases you. The harder and thinner your pencil (as well as your paper), the finer will be the resulting line.'
Paul
Gauguin
(French, 1848 –1903
)
Two
Marquesans
1902

Slide15Investigation Guidelines
Create a
SERIES
of
ATLEAST
6
MONOTYPES
that investigate the word
EMERGENCE
Each
MONOTYPE
must include evidence of:
A
strong composition
&
focal
point
Consider incorporating a few design principles:
Pattern, Movement, Scale, Asymmetry,
Emphasis…
Experimentation
with paint
application
Draw into ink / subtract ink with cotton swab, brush, toothpicks
Paint or add ink with brayer/brush
Create stencils for positive/negative space
Stamp with found objects
Multiple
layers
through the use of POSITIVE/NEGATIVE space
Consider paper cut-outs, drawing into top layers, and placement of pigment on top layers
None of your 6 final prints should have less than 3
printed layers
Slide16Emergence
the process of coming into view or becoming exposed after being concealed.the process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent.Medieval Latin Latin emergere ‘bring to light’
In your sketchbook…BRAINSTORM LIST OF WORDS THAT COME TO MIND FOR EMERGENCE.
Slide17Today in the computer lab…
Research & print reference images for paper stencils.
Draw & Cut 3 paper stencils out.
You must experiment with AT LEAST 3 paper stencils. You may choose not to include these in your final print portfolio, but you must show evidence of printing with them.
**You are not allowed to copy another person’s artwork. Part of your grade is your creativity and experimentation with new materials.**
