RADIAL PRINTMAKING DESIGNS
Mandala power point
Native American Mandala
Sand Mandala - Hinduism
Rose Windows
Islamic Tiles
DESIGN PROCESS:
1. Brainstorm and come up with an idea. 2. Draw idea onto folding paper (triangle) 3. Retrace image on opposite side to create a "mirror effect". 4. Open fully to so your paper is flat and now a square.
|
5. Tape down image onto styrofoam so it does not move. 6. Retrace lines and press into paper with a pencil to transfer and indent styrofoam. 7. "Ink"/Color styrofoam with marker.
|
7. Ink plate four times successfully to create four transfer to paper and create family of prints. 8. Arrange your prints to being sure to create radial design. tape together neatly. 9. Touch up with color pencils.
|
BIG IDEA: Students will create a repeated print design to create radial symmetry.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can we arrange lines to show rhythm and movement?
KEY KNOWLEDGE:
Recognize radial movement as a visual concept and apply it to a composition.
VOCABULARY: rhythm; movement; printmaking; brayer, bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry
HISTORY: Printmaking has its roots in prehistoric times, when humans placed their hands on cave walls and blew pulverized pigment around them to create images. Records show that woodcut printing was used by the Egyptians as early as 2000 B.C.E., but because of the perishable nature of these works, they do not exist today. In China, 200 A.D., both fabrics and books were printed using wooden blocks at an early stage. Eventually wood blocks were smoothed and then cut into with sharp tools. They were then inked to make prints that were handed out like posters and handbills or flyers. In the 1500s, John Gutenberg put rows of little wooden block letters into a printing press, and the first modern books were made. He was the first printer to use cast lead types and he invented the mechanical printing press.
ARTISTS who have worked with relief printing are internationally renowned figures like Albrecht Dürer, Paul Gauguin, Käthe Kollwitz and Edvard Munch, Andy Warhol
TECHNOLOGY CONNECTION:
If not for advancements in printmaking, we would never have books, newspapers and possibly the advancement of computer communications. Commercial engineers use the principles of printmaking techniques and technology in graphics, advertisement, blueprints for construction, industry and machinery
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I AM FINISHED? (GOALS)
Final work will be a radial design made up of four block prints
I have created a radial symmetry print displaying rhythm and movement.
I have demonstrated strong use of coloring and displayed quality craftsmanship
I have verified with teacher if their s anything I can improve upon.
