print = copy
This is the definition google retrieved for me when I asked 'what is a monoprint?'
It is pretty similar in explaining what we have been doing in class with year 8. We use thin perspex rather than glass or metal.
These ones are the teacher exemplars of what we are working towards.
We are using an 'additive' mono-print technique. That means we add to the plate with colour and texture before printing.
A 'subtractive' mono-print method means we put colour on and subtract it with making marks and textures before printing it.
There are 3 key steps in making your plate:
1) Apply the base thinly and let it dry a bit before you put the colour on
2) Apply the colour just like you would paint on paper. Mix, make paint marks and blend.
3) Let it dry
Following making your plate, we are going to go through hand printing a mono-print.
