Winter Elective
Printmaking
30th January to 3th February 2023
LIVE SKETCHING:
We started this electives with some live sketching protraits within the class. We were further asked to develop a portrait composition including our partner's facial apperance, favourite childhood toy, childhood memory, favourite festival, hobby, sport, etc.
TRACING ON LINOLEUM:
After the completion of the composition, we tranfered the drawing on the linoleum sheet using a carbon paper and highlighted the parts which needed to be craved using a marker.
CRAVING LINOLEUM:
We carefully craved the drawing on linoleum using wooden craving tools.
PRINTING:
We used white and black ink on the linoleum sheet and took the prints on different colour of A2 size papers and left them to dry for a few days.
