2. PRINTMAKING
A type of art that uses an inked block or plate to print an image.
This allows multiple printings, unlike drawing or painting.

AD
3. Five Major Types of Prints
Woodcut
• occasionally known as xylography -is a relief
printing artistic technique in printmaking in
which an image is carved into the surface of a
block of wood, with the printing parts
remaining level with the surface while the
non-printing parts are removed, typically with
gouges. The areas to Show white' are cut
away with a knife or chisel, leaving the
surface level
4. Engraving
• is the practice of incising a design
onto a hard, usually flat surface, by
cutting grooves into it. The result may
be a decorated object in itself, as
when silver, gold, steel, or glass are
engraved, or may provide an intaglio
printing plate, of copper or another
metal, for printing images on paper
as prints or
illustrations; these images are also
called engivings.
5. RELIEF
Relief, or relievo rilieve, is a sculptural technique. To create a
sculpture in relief is to give the impression that the sculpted
material has been raised above the background plane, or relievo
rilieve, is a sculptural technique.
6. INTAGLIO
are techniques in art in
which an image is created
by cutting, carving or
engraving into a flat surface
and may also refer to
objects made using these
techniques:
7. STENCIL PRINTING
• A process which involves cutting
off the design on special paper or
cardboard or metal sheet in such a
way that when ink is rubbed over it,
the design is reproduced on the
surface.
