Paper GLUE - Cola Textured surfaces.– wood, lace, nets/wires /grids and holes, wool/string/sewing cotton, paper doilies, leaves, grasses etc. Printed on an A4 sheet between 2-4 photographic reference of a different people at a reasonable size to draw. Think about images that would be interesting to create characters from. Blurry photos, friends dressed up in costumes, fancy dress parties.

Setting UP Put some ink on the inking plate and roll it out until smooth- there should be a slight sticking sound as it rolls. Too much and you will put too much ink on the printing plate too little and it will not print well. Unless you’re trying to create a texture always roll out the in one direction until its evenly spread across the plate Once inked the surface is ready to draw on
7
Setting UP Have your paper cut to size ready to use. Hold it by two diagonal corners when you're ready to place it. Put one corner down before the other Feel the weight and texture of the paper. Make sure you are using the most absorbent side in contact with the ink. Once you have drawn your plate, carefully lay the paper down over the plate, starting from one corners and evenly smoothing it down across the plate Rubbing the back of the paper to transfer the ink - be careful not to tear the paper or allow it to move when you are rubbing - This will blur the image. Be gentle and slow to get a good even transfer. Vary the weight and experiment with different movements, some will create textures you may want to use. Feel the weight and texture of the paper. Make sure you are using the most absorbent (softest) side in contact with the ink.

Experiments Textures -Drawing and mark making Collagraphy and Phantoms Collagraph with leafPhantom leaf after first print Collagraph using Self-adhesive plastic Collagraph using Sting and glue Directly inking feathers

Selection Of Positive and Negative Spaces, Textures and Patterns Open the Demo folder and view as slide shows of 3 techniques

Aims of this week's lesson: Experiment with monoprinting and enjoy the textures and effects you can create. While you work throught the techniques think about how you can use them in your illustrations. To follow up: Consider using the technique of Silk Screen Printing that you have been shown by Professora Susana Gameiro Think about the different layers and colours you need to organize to get the effects you want. RESEARCH PRINTING TECHNIQUES

In Preparation for your final illustration Think about creating your own collagraph at home before the class. See this video http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-collagraph Using cardboard and paper. You can also use other materials that create the right textures for your design. Do this in advance. 1 day for the glue to dry on the objects you have selected. Then afterwards if you want to seal it all with glue or varnish if its fragile. OR cover with the self-adhesive plastic we had in class. SO if you have a background you want to create for example floor wall and table patterns you can think about how these techniques can help. It can get very complex when you develop your skills –see this work http://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2014/04/21/collograph-print-making- suzie-mackenzie/ https://sketchbookcircle14.wordpress.com/tag/collagraph/

For NEXT week's lesson: KEEP UP your Drawing practice and personal style developemnt For NEXT WEEKS LESSON 1 st June you will need to bring to class all the references and materials you will need to work on your final Illustration for the Recipe for Life Brief. This is the Illustration that contextualizes the idea. In the class we will explore two approaches; as a Set or background design and as an illustration that embodies the atmosphere of the concept NOW Plan the design for printing. Textures Drawing marks Colourways
