Monotype
Monoprint is a unique process by which a combination of painting and printmaking techniques can be used. A painting is created on a flat non-porous surface such as plexiglass and then transferred onto paper. Students will learn how to create different approaches to ink application by working in both additive and reductive processes, use of texture, brush strokes and vibrant color. Other techniques will include: Xerox transfer, chine colle, and several other printing techniques.

Drypoint Assignment Update
Drypoint Assignment
Collect a few images of line etchings or drypoint prints.
Some websites to check out:
Crown Point Press
Artists to look at:
Rembrandt
Paul Klee
Picasso
Jenny Schmid
Durer
Choose an artist's etching and make it your own. For instance, Durer's Rhino could be changed into another animal. Your print is to be inspired by another artists line etching or drypoint print. I am looking for similarities in line quality, composition and printing quality. If you chose a line etching there will be some differences as it is another technique but I will allow these line quality discrepancies.
