Kennedy Fields: What's Printmaking

Posted by Kennedy Fields in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 9:00 pm

Printmaking is the process by which artist take a carved image from one template to another ( usually paper). Some of the earliest printmaking were by Egyptians. Egyptians used printing for there fabric. To do this they took a block of carved wood with a knife, and pasted it of there clothing. Printmaking developed into different styles over time. Intaglio, Relief, and Lithographic printing are some of the different styles. Printing is is important because it helps mass communicate across the world. We also use it as a convenient way to create books much faster.  
The print below from Quilts By Jen, has captured my eye. The relief print is a black and white sunflower, that has been carved and pasted. The sunflower shows negative space on one half, and positive on the other. I think this print is fantastic because of the well thought out contrast idea.

Printmaking is an art of carving an image out of a wood block or plate, inking the carved section and placing it on a sheet of fabric. It is important because back then when it was first invented it was used to tell stories in art form. Books, artwork, and cultural clothing was made. It traveled all over the world and became so many different types of printmaking for all different people. I really like this print because the lion is a very strong animal but is portrayed as a gentle one. The fish scale cheeks and ears and the leaf texture nose is very gorgeous to me. I noticed that the fur on the animal if very detailed and every part of the lion comes out as a different shade of white. I wonder how they did that. Did they roll it on and remove some ink from some places or did they put the ink on piece by piece.

Printmaking-Shaheed W.

Art is a special concept that existed since the early humans. Art is such a broad topic, that there’s so much variety. One particular art style is printmaking. Printmaking is the process of designs by printing them from specially prepared plates or blocks. There are many forms of printmaking like engraving, mezzotint, etching, etc. All of these forms have been revolutionized because printmakings has been around since 400 AD. Printmaking has been around so long that the Mesopotamians used it, they used round cylinder seals for rolling an impress of images onto clay tablets. Printmaking was important because it was originally used to reproduce religious texts.


Printmaking is still used today. I noticed that graffiti is unique printmaking. That’s why I wonder if graffiti artists know that what they are making is printmaking art?  What if more than one type of printmaking was combined together to make a new type of category of printmaking.


(Stephen Alcorn's work)

This is my favorite print because it shows something respectable, a hand shake. It uses both negative and positive space to make a simple but intriguing image.

Why is printmaking important?/My favorite printmaking image

Posted by Orlando Irizarry in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 5:18 pm

Printmaking was invented in the 15th century in England, London. Which came after woodcutting where you would just carve anything design into wood with a certain tool. It was important back than because back than they used carbon printers which means that they were in business because they would print multiple copies. It's important because every art isn't always have different structures with different shapes and materials and dramatic colors. It pretty important because you actually printing without all the fumes from a machine.
As you can see the image is a cat. If you know me you will know I love animals but my favorite is a cat because its  involvement is so unique. It unique because its a mutation of the saber tooth, lion, mountain lion. I wonder what type of cat it is because there is many types. I also wonder why did the artist chose to draw a cat is it important to him? I also notice that the scratches all around the pictures are supposed to be fur on the cat. I also noticed that the cat is calm because they eye doesn't have a second oval around it when you know its ready to play.

Printmaking - Kai Payton

Posted by Kai Payton in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 2:40 pm

​Printmaking is an art where you put ink on a certain material that has previously been carved and ink has been put on it then printed on to paper. The earliest form of Printmaking was woodcuts. The following print is by Andrea Mulder-Slater. I find this piece aesthetically pleasing because of the simple black and white contrast. Another reason it's pleasing to me is because I like fish in general since I think they're a cool type of animal. I wonder what was the inspiration of this print.

I Have Infinite Layers

If you don't already know me, you must know I am not a fan of exposing my true personality traits. In this portrait/printmaking you can see the many layers of the human body with the first layer being the disguise, the second layer being the exposing point and the third being the breaking point. What is print making you may ask, its simply making artwork by printing. I guess you can say its kind of important being the fact it has been used for hundreds of year, benefiting those who can't exactly express their emotions through words. I wonder will anyone ever reach the middle?

Payton's Printmaking Post

Posted by Payton McQuilkin in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 10:00 am

Printmaking is a type of art, which you transfer an image on a paper from a carved wood, metal, stone, or screen. There is different types of printmaking such as relief, intaglio, etc. Printmaking is important to the artist because it isn’t normal art. This art is made by transferring it to make a print. Printmaking apparently started after paper was made in China around AD 105. Printmaking had a its most success in the 18th century in France.

Lee Stevenson- Night Tide. Lino & Woodcut






This print is interesting to me because this seems like it’d take so much patience. I wonder how long it took. I noticed the detail in this is incredible. I love looking at oceans at night and the way this is done is what it actually looks like, which is a realistic sense portrayed. It’s very well done. The contrast of the dark brown and light blue works well together. The lines are pointing my eyes towards the right upper corner of the art.

Print Making

Posted by Andrew Cheatley in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 10:00 am

​Printmaking is the art in which a person prints an image onto a sheet of some sort. It is important because it allows readers to have a different way of creating art. Printmaking was so revolutionary was because it spread like a wild fire. People could now create art in negative or positive ways and also it let them do things so precise, they couldn't do it with normal arts.

The reason this post is interesting to me is because I notice how they show a good and evil perception in a dark and light image. Yin & Yang is more than meets the eye. It has lots of meetings etc. I notice how they include a scary pic of venom but show a heroic pic of spidey.

Printmaking

Posted by Sara Frunzi in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 9:59 am

​Printmaking is an art that consists of etching a design into a surface (wood, acrylic, styrofoam, etc.), covering it in ink, and pressing paper on top. The ink then transfers the design to the paper, making a beautiful print. Printmaking originated in Egypt in about 500 BC. Relief printmaking is a type of printmaking where the ink is transferred from the surface of the material, meaning that the etched lines will come out white on the paper design. Printmaking was so important because it was the beginning of modern printing devices and book-making.

This print depicts two different flowers, one appears to be a sunflower and the other a daisy. The artist had a great use of contrast to show design in the petals and seeds in the center of the flower. They also used negative space well to create a tension between the two flowers. The way that the artist used texture in the sunflower’s seeds is also very impressive. I think that the flowers being on opposite corners of the paper could represent two people reaching out to each other without being able to touch. I believe that this relief print is aesthetically pleasing.

The Importance Of Printmaking

Posted by Kyla Gladney-Enos in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 9:53 am

Printmaking is important because it lets us recopy images without spending a lot of money and without using a lot of materials. The google definition of printmaking is the activity or occupation of making pictures or designs by printing them from specially prepared plates or blocks. My definition of printmaking is taking a drawing that someone or you made and copying it on a prepared plate or block. Printmaking was discovered in the 15th century. The news of printmaking spread through Buddhism from India to China. Printmaking is so important because you don’t need a lot of resources to printmake. Printmaking is revolutionary because it was one of the first discoveries for copying a picture.

In this image, the white contrast well with the black. I notice how the animal takes up most of the space. The animal in the picture seems to be a lion or a tiger. The image doesn’t seem to have any real lines. I wonder why the artist made a picture of a lion. There doesn't seem to be any mistakes with the image.
