Title: PRINTMAKING


1
PRINTMAKING
  • Printmaking is the process of creating duplicates
    of an image. The process involves creating a
    plate on which the image is drawn, carved,
    etched, built, or painted. The image is then
    transferred by inking the plate and pressing on
    to another surface.

HISTORY OF PRINTMAKING
  • Originally NOT an art form- just form of
    communication
  • Prehistoric Era - Engravings found on stones,
    bones and cave walls.
  • 2nd century AD- Chinese produced rubbings, as far
    back as the 2nd century AD.
  • Mid-late 8th century - Japanese made first
    authenticated prints, wood-block rubbings of
    Buddhist charms
  • Early 15th century - First woodcuts printed on
    paper (German playing cards). First royal seals
    and stamps appeared in England for Henry VI.
  • Mid 15th century - Metal engravings introduced
    and became more refined.
  • Dürer- major influence on printmaking, famous for
    wood engravings and etching in Renaissance

  • Mid 1600s early 1700s - Master woodcutter,
    Katsushika Hokusai, produced 35,000 drawings and

INTAGLIO PRINTING
  • Intaglio printing is where a plate has multiple
    levels and the areas gouged or carved out receive
    the ink and transfer it. (Opposite of relief
    printing). Examples are etchings, engravings, and
    block prints that are inked properly and run
    through a press.

    of the plate. Lithography is an example.

STENCIL PRINTING
  • A method of printing where open areas of a
    stencil or screen are printed. An example is
    silk screen printing. A separate screen is
    prepared for the printing of each color in a
    design. T-shirt designs are a common example of
    silk screen prints.

    worn by royalty and spiritual leaders during
    sacred ceremonies and rituals.

    highest valued hand-printing and hand-embroidered
    works on cloth.
