Print Media Lesson 25/09/09.

This week lesson we learnt how to do etchings, using plastic we cut an image into the surface. This process can also be done with Zinc. After you finished the image you would put oil base pant on the surface until you can't see the image, after that you would rub of the the pant with a cloth in a half circle motion until the layer is nearly of then using some paper (we used scrape yellow pages).

Once the layer is off you get some wet paper & put the the etchings underneath the paper, then you would put the etching through an roller.

The same process you would be able to do a Lilo cut, a Lilo cut is where you cut an image into some rubber or wood & then pant the over the top of it an the print the image onto some paper.

Thank you,
Simon.
