Next week we will welcome guest Dan Weldon into class for a solar plate etching workshop so in advance of his visit we will be creating small 5"x7" drawings to potential use with the process. Traditionally etching often looks something like the image above "Abraham's sacrifice" from Rembrandt but the process was adopted by some abstract artists thanks to its ability to produce unexpected results as well as some photographers thanks to technological advancements. Students should produce a work due Tuesday in order to create a solar plate etching during our in-school field trip on Wednesday. Below is a short video showing Dan Weldon's recent workshop in Florence to give you an idea of what to expect from the process, it should be fun.
