Relief printing: a process where a protruding surface of the printing plate is inked; recessed areas stay ink free. To Print the image ink the face of the plate and bring it in firm contact with the paper. (like stamping).
Reduction printing: In relief printing, a reduction print is a multicolor print, in which the separate colors are printed from the same block at different stages. Usually, the lightest color of the design is printed first, then the block is "reduced" by carving to the areas which the artist wants to print the second color from, and so forth. we watched this video, see below:
Woodcuts were the original form of block printing. Watch the Video below to witness how it was done in the past! Complete the Video worksheet #1 downloadable here while you watch it. It is fascinating!
The invention of printing allowed books and images to become household objects. With printmaking, books and images could be reproduced quickly and in large numbers, whereas before this revolutionary technology they could only be drawn, painted or written by hand, each book done individually by a scribe.
This film focuses on the woodcut printing method. Print-maker and artist Anne Desmet was commissioned by the V&A to make a copy of sheet of playing cards in the Museums collections. The original sheet of cards was printed onto paper with a woodblock. The sheet was then hand-colored using stencils. The use of woodblocks to print text had been known in the East since the 8th century. In Europe the technique was first applied to textiles, but shortly after 1400 it was adopted also for images.
