  4. What  is  printmaking?   "...broadly,  the  produc/on  of  images  normally

     on  paper  and   excep/onally  on  fabric,  parchment,  plas/c  or  other  support  by   various  processes  of  mul/plica/on;  more  narrowly,  the  making  and   prin/ng  of  graphic  works  by  hand  or  under  the  supervision  of  the   ar/st.”  –Encyclopedia  Britannica   print·∙mak·∙ing   noun  \-­‐ˌmā-­‐kiŋ\   1:  the  design  and  produc/on  of  prints  by  an  ar/st    
  5. Relief   Woodcut   Linocut   is  the  process  of

     making  a  print  with  a  matrix  where   the  non-­‐image  area  (nega/ve  space)  is  cut  away  and   the  image  area  (posi/ve  space)  is  lej  raised.  
  6. Emil  Nolde,  Prophet,  1912,  Woodcut,  12   1/2”  X  8

     13/16”   *   Areas  of  high   contrast;  values   cannot  really  be   blended.   Strong   Raw   Powerful   Intense   Rough   *
  7. Rockwell  Kent,  Workers  of  the  World   Unite,  1937,  woodcut

     print,  8”  X  5  1/8”   *   *   Areas  of  high   contrast   Delicate  lines   *   Distance   between  lines   simulates   modulated   chiaroscuro.   *   Less  white  =   Fewer  areas   gouged  out  
  8. Katsushika  Hokusai,  The  Wave,  from  1000  Views  of  Mt.  Fuji,

     1830,  color   woodblock  print*,  10  1/4”  X  15  1/8”     *  To  add  different  blocks  of  unblended  color,  mul;ple  woodcuts  are  used—one  for  each  color.     They  are  registered  (lined  up)  to  ensure  that  the  blocks  are  correctly  placed.    
  9. Intalgio   Engraved  plate  using  drypoint   Prepped  plates  about

     to  be   etched   is  a  printmaking  process  that  transfers  the  images  via  the  areas  that  are   cut  away,  not  the  raised  areas  (the  opposite  of  relief  prin/ng).  
  10. 1a  The  Plate:  Engraving   Burins   Engraving  a  plate

      Burr   is  simply  crea/ng  burrs  (or  troughs  where  the  ink  seyles)  by   engraving  into  the  metal  plate.

     aqua/nt,  13  5/8”  X  8  15/16”   *   Aqua/nt   *   Drypoint   *   mul/media    
  17. Lithography   is  a  printmaking  process  that  transfers  the  image

     via  a  stone,   working  with  the  natural  resistance  between  oil  and  water.

  23. Silkscreen   or  screenprin/ng  is  a  process  where  a  print
