Printmaking-Carlos De Jesus

Posted by Carlos De Jesus in Art - Freshman · Hull · c2 Band on

Printmaking is something that has been around for a long time and will probably stay around for a while. It was first used around 500 BC-100 AD and it was used by Egyptians to print fabric. Now Printmaking is mostly a hobby taken by artist, or anyone really, to create pictures by printing them which is why it’s called printmaking. I really feel that printmaking is important because it’s a different type of art and people should be able to express their feeling thru different ways. Printmaking is just so amazing with it also being high quality and low price which is one good reason to which it became so revolutionary. This picture down below it’s a demonstration of printmaking. I noticed on this picture as well how well detailed it is and how they put effort into the little things on the hat. I wonder if the artist of this art drew the whole body would he keep that detail by like adding the skeletons shadow and all of that. Overall it’s amazing art made in an amazing way and I hope that printmaking continues to live on

​Printmaking is a unique way to transfer pictures/paintings onto a textured canvas. For example, instead of just painting a picture on canvas paper, artist use metal, wood, plate, stone or screen. There isn't just one processes of printmaking-relief, intaglio, lithography, stencil, etc. 
One of the important reasons why printmaking was invented so people can communicate from long distances. Johannes Gutenberg was the first person to introduce printing to Europe. It allowed for people to make multiple copies of one. This was people were able to expand news. People all around the world were now able to here from distant areas. 
When I shop for home decor I usually go for a modern look. To me modern has a very small color pallet. For example, black, white, grey and tan. So for the image I chose consisted of black and white. This way there is contrast and postive/negative space. Giving it an aesthetically pleasing look. In the image there is also fading. The fading makes it different because I know there was a different technique involved in order to make the image. 

I notice that art has different meanings. For example, some artist focus on certain techniques- point perspective, positive/negative space. art isn't just coloring. There is music also involved with art. I always wondered how artist come up with such unique ideas. Personally I have a hard time coming up with something of my own. What if printmaking was never discovered ? How would people communicate? There would have not been books, newspaper, signs, etc.

The Art of Printmaking

Printmaking
Printmaking
Printmaking is the occupation of printing art using a block or plate with the art engraved in it. Printmaking is important, because it gives you the ability to print the art engraved in the block or plate as many times as you would like. The invention of printmaking has many useful purposes. Printing gives a unique look to art, because of the ability to have different thickness of lines. I notice the artwork above is a fish which shows that you have the freedom to print whatever you would like.

Tell why you find the print artistically interesting. Use this resource (Links to an external site.) to properly tell about the print you chose.


My sign is a Taurus and the sign of a Taurus is a bull. I like the mix of colors it seems like negative colors, because an animal is killing another animal.  I noticed the picture is simple for example the feet are like little triangles. I wonder the inspiration of this artwork, was it from a experience with a bull or does this symbolizes the artist. What if this picture was not negative What if the background was filled with spectators in the background.
Use - I notice... I wonder… What if… to explain how you think about the work of art.
