printmaking assignment
printmaking assignment
Look at and investigate examples of printed fabrics, such as Adinkra cloth. Discuss how the artists used shape, color, and repetition in their designs.
Experiment with relief printing using multiple alternative supplies. Discuss that artists often experiment and must be open to try new things even if it means making mistakes.
Design a repetitive pattern by applying the principles of design and some of the alternative supplies from experiments. Create multiple thumbnail sketches in the Thumbnail Sketches worksheet or in a sketchbook.
Share ideas with a partner. Discuss which plans may be the most interesting, least interesting, and most creative. Discuss how the principles of design may help some of the designs be more effective. Edit the plan accordingly and decide on a color scheme for the fabric.
Practice printing the design on the fabric using water-based relief printing ink to make proofs. Practice creating a repeating print. Create a final print that fills the area.
