Covers a variety of relief and intaglio printmaking processes, with examples of student work and pieces by Adam Palmer, Josh Banks, Christopher Wallace (UNT grads), and more well-known printmakers. Relief and intaglio processes such as linocut, woodcut relief, lithography, and screenprinting are introduced.
With digital art starting to dominate the art industry, it’s safe to assume that some artists may have numerous art pieces, complete and incomplete that need to be organised and saved securely, especially in the case of something happening to the artist. His friends and family may not know where all these art pieces are or what the artist in question would like to do with them.
A brief introduction to sculpture and the different mediums and manifestations of it, including kinetic, bas-relief, carvings, readymade, bronze casting, contructions, installations, earthworks, and more. Based on the textbook, "Gateways to Art" (Thames and Hudson: 2012).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
1. What IS a PRINT?
An imprinted image on a piece of paper. Made from a MATRIX
made of some selected medium, usually stone, wood or metal.
In a general sense, a print edition is the SET of ALL the
impressions made from the SAME matrix.
What is an EDITION?
The NUMBER of prints pulled from a plate or other matrix,
NOT counting trial proofs, artist’s proofs, and other proofs
outside the edition.
Published at the same time or as part of the same
publishing event.
2.
3. Printmaking processes include:
RELIEF:
Woodcut, Linocut, Wood Engraving, Collagraph
INTAGLIO:
Etching
Non-acid based processes:
Engraving, Mezzotint and Drypoint
Lithography: Traditional Stone
Monotype
Silk Screen
Digital
4. RELIEF
any printing from the inked surface of a BLOCK, usually
carved WOOD or LINOLEUM. Any cut-away lines or areas do
not print.
The ink is transferred to paper by rubbing the back of the
sheet with a hand-held baren or by applying pressure with
a printing press.
Historical Context:
Woodcuts were introduced to Europe in the early 15th
century but were executed in the Orient as early as the 9th
century.
The use of woodcuts was spread by the inventions of
moveable type and of the printing press in the 1450s.

7. Paper invented in China many centuries before
European form, c. 800
Japan = work of several artists
13. Another relief process,
first used in 1800s
Similar to woodcut but
relies on engrain of block
(hard wood)
Needs tools designed to
cut metal
14. Wood engraving
Dramatic composition
with political theme
Delicacy of line
indicative of medium
At the time of creation,
Kent was one of the
most well-
known/successful
graphic artists in U.S.
15. Linocut – similar to
woodcut, however
linoleum much softer than
wood, easier to cut,
requires similar tools
No grain, cuts can be
made in any direction with
ease
Other possible relief
processes?
Potato
Styrofoam
Rubber stamps
Plywood
Each requires a special
approach, tools, papers,
press
16.
17. INTAGLIO
From Italian, 'in the cut' or 'in the groove’
It encompasses all prints made by pressing the ink down into
the crevices of the plate then wiping excess ink away from the
surface.
The paper is placed over the plate and run through an intaglio
press, which squeezes the paper and plate with high pressure
between two rollers, transferring the ink to the paper.
Some examples of intaglio techniques include:
etching
mezzotint
drypoint
aquatint
engraving
18. Unlike relief, what
is removed ends up
being printed
Metal plates and
special tools, i.e.
burin
Ink surface, wipe
clean, place moist
paper over plate
and send through
press
19. Engraving
An engraving (also called a line engraving) is made by incising a
design into a METAL plate (usually copper) by applying
pressure to the plate with a pointed tool called a graver or
burin.
Engraving is an INTAGLIO process, so prints made in this
manner will have a platemark.
Strong lines and sharp definition are characteristic of
engravings. The earliest known line engravings were
issued in the fifteenth century.
A method of engraving in a steel plate, which allows for
finer detail and many more impressions than does
copper, was developed by Thomas Lupton in 1822.
20. Engraving = oldest of the
intaglio techniques
Developed from medieval
practice of incising linear
designs in armor
Basic tool is a burin
Shallow cuts create a light,
thin line while deeper cuts
result in thicker and darker
line
Shading = hatching
22. Drypoint – An Intaglio method in which a sharp needle or diamond point is
used to scratch a line onto a metal or acrylic plate . The resultant burr of metal that
is raised holds more ink than the incised line itself and gives the rich, velvety
stroke characteristic of the technique. The plate wears out rapidly because the
burr soon breaks off during printing.

38. Chine appliqué (chine collé)
A chine appliqué or chine collé is a print in which the
image is printed onto a thin sheet of Japanese fiber
paper (other similar paper) which is backed by a
stronger, thicker sheet. Japanese fiber paper takes an
intaglio impression more easily than regular paper, so
chine appliqué prints generally show a richer
impression than standard prints.
39.
40.
41.
42. Mezzotint (intaglio process)
inverse of the other intaglio processes
created working from black to white, rather than vice
versa.
metal plate is worked using a rocker
-roughens the entire surface of the plate with tiny
holes and burrs.
-If the plate were printed at this time the image would
be completely velvet black.
Areas that are to appear in lighter tones or in white are
smoothed out on the surface using scrapers and
burnishers, so that they will hold LESS ink.
Mezzotint prints have a platemark
makes a very rich image
used particularly for portraits.
43. Rocker – Hardened steel tool with a curved, serrated edge, used to roughen
a metal plate for mezzotints.
Roulette – tool with a revolving head of hardened steel on which a dotted,
lined or irregular pattern is incised; used in intaglio processes.
44.
45. Apply acid resistant
ground / wax to metal
plate
Draw design into waxed
surface (ground)
Place plate in acid bath
Acid “bites” the plate or
areas exposed during
the drawing stage
46. Etching
This technique involves using acid to bite
grooves into the plate. A substance called
an etching ground blocks the acid from
biting through in certain places, while
disruptions in the ground allow the acid to
bite in other areas. The plate is printed by
pressing ink into the grooves and wiping
excess ink off the surface. Ink is then
transferred from the plate to the paper by
being run through a press.
47.
48. AQUATINT
An aquatint is created by etching SECTIONS, rather than lines, of a plate in
order to create areas of uniform tone. An aquatint is
prepared by applying resin or a similar ground (spray paint) to
a metal plate, which is then heated, thus adhering the ground
to the metal. This gives a roughness or grain to the plate which
adds texture to the image.
Plate immersed in acid bath, which bites or etches the plate
and creates areas which will hold the ink.
Design created with gradations of TONE achieved through
repeated acid baths combined with varnish (acrylic) used to
stop out areas of lighter tone.
Aquatint is an INTAGLIO process, so prints made in this
manner will have a platemark.
50. Tonal areas made by
applying powdered resin
(acid resistant)
Heat metal plate, resin
activates or melts resin
(each particle or dot of
powdered resin will now
resist acid)
51. process based on the chemical principle that OIL AND WATER
DO NOT MIX.
Images are drawn on limestone or metal plates with crayons
and inks which contain wax or oil.
After treatment with gum arabic and nitric or phosphoric acid,
the non-image areas become water-receptive.
The stone or plate is wet before each inking with a roller, so
the oil-based ink will adhere ONLY to the image areas. Paper is
pressed against the surface with a bar or roller press.
Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder in 1798 but didn't come into
general use until the 1820s. After that time lithography quickly replaced
intaglio processes for most illustrative and commercial applications, for the
design was easier to apply to the stone or plate, it was much easier to
rework or correct a design, and many more images could be produced
without loss of quality than in any of the intaglio processes.

58. Lithography is a
planographic process =
surface is flat

59.
60.
61. Serigraphy
The process, also called silkscreen,
that uses a squeegee to force ink
through selected parts of silk or
other fabric stretched tightly over
a frame containing the image. The
image on the screen can be
produced either photographically,
by cutting stencils, or by drawing
direct with a block out material.
74. Monotype - Often considered a 'painterly' technique, this
involves painting on a smooth surface and transferring that
painting onto paper, usually, but not always, with the help of a
press. Since the surface is smooth and does not hold ink in
any repeatable way, each print is as unique as a painting.
