Studio Art: Gelli Printing



In Studio Art we are beginning our printmaking unit with Gelli mono-printing.  We'll begin by creating interesting stencils to use- they can be random organic or geometric shapes or more specific imagery.



We will then create a series of 2 mono-prints that relate to each other, in the art world this is called a diptych.

AP Art: Printmaking

This week's assignment in AP Art is printmaking but what type of print you doing will depend on which AP test your taking. Below are the assignments with some student examples:

Fine Arts (Painting & Drawing) - Monoprint Series

We will use water soluble media to create a series of 3-5 monoprints that have some relation to each other. They can be variants on an image or a narrative series, it's up to you. For this assignment your work should work in a series and it preferable that you include a figure but not absolutely necessary.


Design (2D) - Stencil Prints

We will create our own original 3-5 color stencil using cardboard that you will print with different media on a constructed background. For this assignment your theme should be based on a modern social issue of your own choice.
