Monoprints

11/30/2016

 
Monoprinting is a form of printmaking that has images or lines that can only be made once, unlike most printmaking, where there are multiple originals. There are many techniques of monoprinting. Examples of standard printmaking techniques which can be used to make monoprints include lithography, woodcut, and etching.

Objective: Create a series of monoprints that address (1) registration (2) application of color (3) stenciling (4) additive and subtractive techniques and (5) effective composition


Directions:
  1. Place printing plate on a large sheet of paper and make registration marks.
  2. Each print produced should represent multiple registrations.
  3. Augment some of your colors by mixing them first on pallet paper.
  4. Create contrast with value and color.
  5. Evolve a visual language with your work. Experiment with different techniques such as stenciling, additive/subtractive, working with paint brushes, misc. tools or paint rollers.
  6. Complete 6 studies for submission.
Rubrics:

  1. Work demonstrates use of multiple registrations
  2. Evidence of augmented colors
  3. Evidence of visual contrast through color & value
  4. Recognizing a stylistic thread working through all six completed works.
