MEDIUM: PRINTING INK

​

IN BTEC, ONE OF OUR UNITS IN ART IS PRINTMAKING, AND IN THIS, WE EXPERIEMENTED WITH DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF PRINTMAKING, AND ONE OF THEM BEING LINO CUTTING. I DECIDED TO USE AN IMAGE OF GREEN DAY'S "AMERICAN IDIOT" HEART GRENADE BECAUSE OF THE STYLE OF THE SHAPE. 

​

AFTER CUTTING THE IMAGE ON THE LINO, I PRINTED IT WITH DIFFERENT COLOURS, BUT DECIDED THAT DARK PURPLE WAS THE NICEST.  I THEN DECIDED TO USE THE REDUCTION PRINTING TECHNIQUE WITH DIFFERENT COLOURS, WITH THIS I CUT THE DIFFERENT ROWS OF THE HEART ROW BY ROW.

 

THIS PRINT THAT I HAVE RESULTED WITH, WITH 5 LAYERS OF REDUCTION PRINTING TURNED OUT SUCCESSFULLY.

​

I HAVE CHOSEN TO DISPLAY THIS AS PRINTMAKING IS A SIGNIFICANT TECHNIQUE THAT I AM INTERESTED IN, AND IS A GOOD WAY TO SHOW UNIQUENESS AND CREATIVITY.
