We bagan doing mono-printing with plastic and paper. We used a oil based paint to transfer to the paper. Our health and saftey was to wear aprons and gloves or Ultrabar barrier cream to get the oil paint off with ease.
On the first session of print making we worked with lino, gloss, card and paper. First, we began to sketch out a sample of what we were going to do on the built up card, the collograph, and then we used this to create a raised level card square with the design on. We then took the card to be glossed. We then used lino and scratched out a seperate design which we then used to print on paper using a printimg press to put the image on the paper.
Our health and safgey was to be careful when using the scraper when doing cutting out the lino. Also too scratch away from yourself. Also to use gloves and an apron when using gloss etc.
I wasn't here For this lesson, but we did a zoatrope which is all to do with animation and stop motion.
The entire day was based around building a cardboard city out of built boxes. An artist, called James Brunt "gone fishing" came in to talk about temporary art with nature or things that aren't stable enough to keep their structure for a long period of time. Eventually we had built one in each group. We then broke them apart to create a curcular wall structure so our wire structures could be projected onto the wall of the cardboard, this work was based on Boltanski and Stanley Spancer.
