Using Workshops

I wanted to embrace the idea of how to apply an image to paper and even though it directly affects my final outcome. So, as I enjoyed printmaking so much in my Side Hustle and Act 3 projects, I wanted to learn more about these techniques. So, I signed up to more workshop inductions. So far, I have done a hardground etching induction, and induction on the flat bed lithography press, and stone Lithography. I also went and further experimenting with letterpress and not just printing text, but printing lino prints and creating my own designs with laser cut acrylic, relief printing, and screen printing. This was important because it helped when deciding how I was going to affectively use colour when creating my storyboard, because when printing as you must do each colour separately, so it makes you consider what is necessary when using colour.

It also helped me understand more about the method of creating an imagine and made me think more about the image being creating and made me more open to using other media than what I am used to. Before this course I considered myself a painter, I hardly used any media apart from watercolour and on occasion other paints such as acrylic and oil. It developed my style and ideas and embraced the idea of this unit. Which is using different methods and practises.
