Assignment:

Using the Collagraph process, compose a creative landscape or cityscape. This piece can be abstract or realistic, culturally inspired or fantasy.

Whatever you choose, make sure that you have sketches and research in your sketchbook.

Use various found materials to help you develop

your plate- these materials will be glued onto your

illustration board and than varnished to seal them

before inking

Materials: thin pieces of cardboard or oak tag,

raffia, string, yarn, pencil shavings, rice, leaves,

small dried flowers, reeds, burlap, sand, fine

meshed fabrics, netting, tin foil, embossed

wallpaper or other textured materials.

Anything will work as long as it

is not more than 1/8" high. If

you have objects that are higher

you will have trouble printing

properly.

All printing must be done on the blue press. The black press is used for more precision printing.

Make a series of at least 3 prints. You can make more if you wish. You can also change the look of each in the way that you ink it.

1 of your prints should be a blind print or embossing. This is done before you begin using ink, run the un-inked plate through the press with a damp piece of paper.
