SUMMARY:Printing Press Monoprint Class
DESCRIPTION:Printing Press Monoprint: Creating One-of-a-Kind Prints \nExplore the fun and surprising world of monoprinting in this hands-on art workshop with artist and instructor Elvira Rascov. \nA monoprint is a unique type of printmaking in which each print is a one-of-a-kind impression. Unlike traditional printmaking\, where the goal is often to create multiple identical prints\, monoprinting allows you to experiment and create an original image each time. \nIn this workshop\, students will use watercolor crayons to create a colorful design or painting directly on a plexiglass plate. The image is then transferred onto watercolor paper using a printing press\, revealing the beautiful and often unexpected qualities of the monoprinting process. \nStudents will learn how to prepare their printing plate\, explore mark-making and color\, and use the printing press to create their own unique artwork. The process is playful and experimental\, making it enjoyable for both beginners and students with previous art experience. \nIn this workshop\, students will learn: \nThe basics of monoprinting and how it differs from other printmaking techniques\nHow to create an image using watercolor crayons on a plexiglass plate\nHow to work with color\, texture\, lines\, and shapes to create an interesting composition\nHow to use a printing press to transfer the image onto watercolor paper\nHow to embrace the unexpected results that make every monoprint unique \nNo previous printmaking experience is necessary. This is a relaxed and creative workshop where students can experiment with color and imagery while discovering a new way of making art. \nStudents will leave with their own original monoprint and an introduction to a versatile technique they can continue exploring in their own artwork. \nMaterials fee $5 \nInstructor: Elvira Rascov\, watercolor artist and instructor \nREGISTER
