PRINTMAKING
7-10 Printmaking Schema
November 09, 2017
Study design built around the idea of contemporary Print based Practice. By inviting the students to become practicing Artists in the classroom, together we explore the various techniques of Printmaking while responding not as Printmakers, but as Contemporary Artists and Designers using the skills and practices of the discipline.
Drawing as Monoprinting
April 11, 2017
Looking at portraiture as a means to develop the student's Eye while also teaching the basics of Relief printing. Through a series of drawing exercises using mirrors and transparent overlays the student's confidence and ability to 'see' is enhanced. These drawings are then taken as prompts to develop a series of Monoprints, an introduction to Relief printing that rewards spontaneity.
Screenprinting Workshop, MTeach 2017
October 09, 2017
Conducted an introduction to Screenprinting with fellow Teacher Candidates during MTeach 2017.
Starting with the collaborative practice of Heretic Spectral Nation (http://www.hereticheretic.co.uk/spectral-nation/prints) as our provocation, the class explored the the technique and materiality of Screenprinting in a collaborative manner. By using this medium to explore colour theory, and allowing for accidents and mistakes to become aesthetic considerations the class was able to experiment freely, developing the techniques required for more controlled, precise work later. Using unstable tissue paper to create stencils proved to add an uncontrollable element, lending a large degree of freedom to the normally rigid and controlled process. A lesson plan for this class is provided here
