Printmaking

Collograph Prints

These prints were made using a piece of board which I sliced into and tore layers of paper away using a scalpel. I also stuck materials onto the plate to create different effects. In addition, I added on layers of paper to create different thicknesses. The majority of these prints came out quite well.

Lino Printing

I really enjoy Lino printing. I think the quality of the prints are great and even though I placed the plate on the wrong way for one of the second colours (3rd across), I actually think it works well. I like the unusual look of it. The fourth print using two colours also came out well and the quality of the print was really good. Although I don't like abstract pieces usually, I do really like these prints.

These are more prints using the same plate but with different colours. Some of these I have used 3 colours. I liked using collage for some of them as they create different interesting effects. As a set I think they work well, however the colours don't go together too greatly, although we were only able to use the inks that were put out for us.

These are my two favourite prints using three colours. I think the collage print in the background looks interesting. The colours used on both prints match one another and work well as a set of two. Printmaking is something I would like to incorporate within my final major project because I enjoy the processes and I think you can come out with high quality pieces of work from doing it.
