Monotype: “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.'

Investigation Guidelines
Create a

ATLEAST
6
MONOTYPES
that investigate the word
EMERGENCE
Each MONOTYPE must include evidence of:A
strong composition & focal
pointConsider 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 layersSlide16
Emergence
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. Slide17
Today 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.**
