Beginning Intaglio 1361 Fall 2001

Print #1 Drypoint

For your first print:

Select an object, something from the natural world. Now select a second object, something man-made. Keep you objects simple and consider contour and shape when choosing them.

Using the introduced drypoint techniques create an image using your natural-object. Using a second plate create a second image using your man-made-object.

These images are to best reproduce the shape or form of your chosen object. Much like a shadow reveals an object look to find a way to create your image such that we know what your object is without giving us any great amount of detail.

Consider line quality as a way to distinguish your natural-object from your man-made-object. Drawing and line quality becomes important when you're not drawing a detailed rendering of an object.

PRINT!!

For each print, natural and man-made, print a minimum of (5)states of each. Slowly work towards your final image, proofing as you go. I will need you to turn in the five proofs of each with two(2) of each of your final image.
