Throughout the 2D practice project, we’ll be introduced to different techniques each week. This week was printmaking. By taking a frame and burning the pattern into the mesh with emulsion, it allows me to use the pattern repeatedly with different inks. I started off with experimenting and getting use to how the pattern and ink would look when together. I decided to use black ink for the main pattern and for the background colours; blue and orange. I really like the effect and strong contrast of the black, blue and orange. With experimenting with the negative technique of the printer and how it changes the black lines to white, I made lino prints of common patterns that you can see through out my project and started to layer them. By using the lino prints it gives the same effect that the printer did. I prefer using the lino to active this outcome as it also leaves a texture look to which i find to be effective. I really enjoyed printmaking and lino print, as the effect can lead to interesting textures and alows you layer.
