  • Printmaking for Graphic Design Students in the Age of the Digital Screen: an Art, a Craft Or a Creative Intersection
    Arts and Design Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6061 (Paper) ISSN 2225-059X (Online) Vol.66, 2018 Printmaking for Graphic Design Students in the Age of the Digital Screen: An Art, a Craft or a Creative Intersection Dr Debra Livingston School of Communication and Creative Industries, University of the Sunshine Coast Maroochydore DC, Queensland, Australia 4556 Abstract This article discusses the research, exploration, practice and positive impact on student learning outcomes of a ‘Blended Learning’ initiative printmaking project course that was introduced into a digital platform-based graphic design program. Printmaking is the transference of an artwork via various means onto the surface of a substrate, mainly paper, involving media, technologies and crafts that are distinctly different to the digital platform. The pedagogical learning methods involved practice led-research where students explored various printmaking forms whilst developing creative works in these mediums. This practicum initiative for design students that do not have traditional art practices within their program structure was important as it furthers their education whilst developing a number of important personal qualities, particularly those of initiative, perseverance and self- reliance. Importantly, these traditional skills broadened their interplay and understanding between visual arts, the craft of printmaking with conventional and digital technical skills, resulting in a dynamic body of work for their portfolio. The course and following offerings included the conversion of their handcrafted work onto a digital platform into actual design outcomes, thus providing a clear link between the handcrafting and digital technology. Graphic design students completing the printmaking course embraced the opportunity to draw methods from cross‐ disciplinary pursuits to compliment and extend their knowledge and to support fresh, contemporary ideas in which to contribute to their various major design studies.

    SUNSET REFLECTIONS Printmaking Lesson Printmaking: An art form consisting of the reproduction of images •Wood Cut • Lithography •Linocut • Screen Print •Etching • Digital Print •Engraving • Transfer •Monotype • The oldest printmaking technique, woodcut involves carving an image into a wooden surface, which is then inked and printed— leaving the carved-out image in negative, as well as occasional traces of the wood’s grain. • A more modern analog to woodcut, linocuts are made using linoleum; the softness of the material allows for cleaner, freer, and more fluid lines. LINOCUT ETCHING • To create an etching, artists incise (“draw”) a composition onto a leaves the wax intact, so that when the plate is in wax-coated metal plate, then soak the entire plate in acid. The acid corrodes the exposed lines and ked and pressed, the paper absorbs the image in reverse. MONOTYPE • Unlike most other printmaking techniques, this process produces unique editions. Artists draw, paint, or otherwise manipulate ink or paint to create a composition on a smooth surface, which is then produced in reverse when applied to a ground support. ENGRAVING • A less forgiving version of etching (mastered by Dürer), in this process artists incise their image directly onto a metal plate, which is then inked and printed. LITHOGRAPHY • Generally seen as the most difficult printmaking method, lithography involves drawing directly on flat surface (usually stone) with an oil-based implement, then coating it with a water-based liquid. When oil-based ink is applied it’s repelled by the water, inking in just the image and allowing it to be transferred onto a paper ground.

    Teaching with unique collections Printmaking tools Baillieu Library Print Collection, University of Melbourne American and German makers Needle, rocker, burnisher, woodcutting knives, roller and dabber, 20th century manufactured wood and metal Baillieu Library Print Collection University of Melbourne 0000.1156 – 0000.1163 Printmaking tools | 1 Teaching with unique collections Two types of printmaking processes are represented by these tools: intaglio and relief. The oldest of these is relief, which is used for woodcuts (and later for linocuts). ‘Intaglio’ derives from an Italian word meaning to incise; incising occurs on metal plates to create engravings, etchings and mezzotints. In both intaglio and relief prints, a roller is used to apply ink to the block or plate before it is run through a press. A dabber is typically used to push ink into the incised lines of an intaglio plate. The image printed from the block or plate appears in mirror image on the sheet. To create a woodblock relief print, a variety of woodcutting knives are used. This process requires all non-printed areas to be cut away so that the image is left standing in relief, ready to receive the ink. Wood engravings are also relief prints, but are cut into the end-grain of the wood, whereas a woodblock is cut on the plank-side of the wood. Metal plate engravings are made by cutting directly into the plate with a tool such as a needle or burin. Different tones (variations of light and dark) are created by varying the line, and by cross- hatching. In etching, a ground, usually wax or shellac, is spread all over the plate.

  • ART DECO and BRAZILIAN MODERNISM a Dissertation
    SLEEK WORDS: ART DECO AND BRAZILIAN MODERNISM A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Spanish By Patricia A. Soler, M.S. Washington, DC January 23, 2014 Copyright by Patricia A. Soler All rights reserved ii SLEEK WORDS: ART DECO AND BRAZILIAN MODERNISM Patricia A. Soler, M.S. Thesis advisor: Gwen Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. ABSTRACT I explore Art Deco in the Brazilian Modernist movement during the 1920s. Art Deco is a decorative arts style that rose to global prominence during this decade and its proponents adopted and adapted the style in order to nationalize it; in the case of Brazil, the style became nationalized primarily by means of the application of indigenous motifs. The Brazilian Modernists created their own manifestations of the style, particularly in illustration and graphic design. I make this analysis by utilizing primary source materials to demonstrate the style’s prominence in Brazilian Modernism and by exploring the handcrafted and mechanical techniques used to produce the movement’s printed texts. I explore the origins of the Art Deco style and the decorative arts field and determine the sources for the style, specifically avant-garde, primitivist, and erotic sources, to demonstrate the style’s elasticity. Its elasticity allowed it to be nationalized on a global scale during the 1920s; by the 1930s, however, many fascist-leaning forces co- opted the style for their own projects. I examine the architectural field in the Brazil during the 1920s.

  • Printmaking Lesson: Positive and Negative Prints
    Educational Material Printmaking Lesson: Positive and Negative Prints This lesson is intended for K-4th grade but may be adapted for other age groups by using more advanced materials like linoleum or wood or using different inking techniques like rainbow rolling. This activity was developed for use with the following Museums by Mail program but could also be used as a general lesson in printmaking: • 19th Century Maine (MbM 1) • Black on White (MbM 12) • Woodcuts by Carroll Thayer Berry (MbM 18) • Tree Silhouettes by Daniel Farber (MbM 26) As a class look at and discuss the Museums by Mail artwork or a variety of other black and white prints. Explain the printmaking process to the class (Printmaking Basics is included for reference) noting that when artists remove parts of a plate or block they are creating a positive image that the ink will adhere to. When artists impress a plate they are creating a negative image that will resist the ink. This is certainly a difficult concept to convey, but this activity will help to clarify the difference between the two. Maine Learning Results: English Language Standards E. Listening and Speaking: Students listen to comprehend and speak to communicate effectively. E1 Listening Pre-K-2 Students use early active listening skills. a. Ask relevant questions at appropriate times. b. Converse without interrupting. c. Follow one-step and two-step oral instructions. 3-5 Students apply active listening skills. a.
