1st Year Printmaking + Sketchbook Checklist to date

Printmaking Materials

Next week in your lessons we will begin to explore some printmaking techniques. For these lessons you will need:

• A range (at least 4) of your Journey photos printed out at A4 scale (loose, not stuck down in your book).
• £1 to buy a monoprinting board (the purple sheet of plastic in the photo above).
• A further £1 to buy a lightweight craftknife.

Up to this point you should have the following completed and thoughtfully presented in your sketchbook:

• A range of journey photographs, include a contact sheet (small images) of all your shots, and print out 5 or more of the best shots at A5 or A4. Annotate with brief notes - what you were looking for in the shots, what visual elements might translate well into drawings/other creative responses.
• At least one sustained drawing produced in class based on your journey photos.
• A sustained homework pencil drawing based on a small group of objects representing your journey (see previous post).
• A set of speed drawings produced in class, you can tweak these if you want, but maintain the urgency in the markmaking if you do add anything.
