Screenprinting or serigraphy is a type of stenciling that involves designing an image and then applying the paint or ink through a screen which is typically called a silk screen. Then it is inked and pressed to a surface to create the image. A flat stone or metal plate is used, and some kind of ink resistant material is used to create the non-image portion of the design. Lithography was a one of the first planographic methods used. This created the design, and became a much simpler method for artists to utilize. In this process, a strong acid or mordant is used to dissolve away parts of the metal surface that were unprotected. EtchingĮtching is also an old type of intaglio printmaking. This was an especially difficult method for artists to master, and soon gave way to etching.
INTAGLIO PRINTING DEFINITION HOW TO
Artists had to spend years learning how to reproduce high quality designs without making mistakes. EngravingĮngraving is an old method of intaglio printmaking that involves carving the metal to create the design. Woodcuts also refer to the prints made from a woodcut design. The design is carved from wood and then printed from the raised surface. Woodcuts are some of the oldest types of relief printmaking. Stenciling involves cutting the design out of a thin material and then printing the design by rubbing or spraying paint around the areas that are cut out. Planographic is unlike the last two in which the design is printed from a flat surface. Intaglio printmaking is the reverse of relief printmaking, in that the design is carved in a way to hold the ink, and then printed that way. Relief printmaking is one of the simplest types of printmaking, in which material is carved or taken away from around the protruding design that is to be printed so that only the design appears. Printmaking can be divided into four basic categories: relief, intaglio, planographic, and stencil. Typically, printmaking uses a some kind of ink or paint to make the design on a surface whether it be paper, cloth, or another medium. The emphasis is on the design, not the variety of surfaces that it is applied to. While most types of artwork are known for being single pieces that can never be replicated in exact detail, printmaking is a type of art that utilizes the ability to create multiple copies of a piece of art.
