The Project:

A Pattern of Contrast

This project is a printing process called collograph printing. It starts by making a "plate" from which we will print a work of art. We will use a number of different textures to add interest to our print and create a sense of unity.

Prints are easily repeated so quite a number of prints can be made from one plate. Artists use printing to make a large number of prints to sell and keep the amount of time making art low. It is also a popular form of mass production for advertising.
