NEIU Printmaking

Create a series of editioned prints (every print is the same), one for the whole class, including the instructor. The prints can be done on any subject that you choose, but must include wood engraving or lino-cut as part of the image. You must also use one other subject that we have covered in class as part of the assignment. This can be either etching, photo etching, lithography, or pronto plate.

The final paper size of each print must be: 8.5″ X 11″ although the image may be smaller.
Due: Dec 13th (final exam week)

Create a series of prints that plays with the idea of a telling story of some sort. This story can be as loose or as linear as you would like. You may use abstract or figurative forms in your work. Make sure to print each state of your etching to show your changes to the plate over time.

In this etching, you must combine at least three of the following techniques in your plate: Dry point, Line etch, Aquatint, Soft Ground, White Ground. You must also try at least two of the following printing techniques with your etching plate: Ala poupee wiping, watercolor monoprinting, and relief rolls. You will need to have ten prints in your finished edition.
