Print- drawing, lithography, silkscreen- drawing on mrpvc

The concept for this project was home. Pick 3 objects that symbolise home to you and make 20 drawings. From these drawings we made lithograph & silkscreen prints -drawing on mrpvc. All of our prints this term were to be in black and white. We were to focus purely on the techniques of each process, specifically the drawing techniques/methods of mark making.

The following are an example of the drawings that I made. The objects that symbolised home for me were the teapot , the kettle and an abandoned car that we used to play in growing up. I worked from a combination of still life and photographs.

Contextual-Lithography & Screenprinting

When I was researching my main focus was looking at how artists made the best use of materials and the various types of mark making they used. I focused especially on traditional artists as opposed to contemporary artists as our brief was to focus on drawing. I found the traditional artists like Degás, Eric Moench, Gertrud J. Dech, Frich Eichenberg paid great attention to detail in their drawings
