| My Solar Plate Etching Design |
So recently I have been quite inactive on my blog page, I'm sincerely sorry for that.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been bombarded with a giant workload, which has resulted in very little spare time to write any blog posts. Recently my school hosted its annual art month exhibition in which the many different years artworks were displayed. The above photographs are of Solar Plate Etchings prints that the class in which I am in created for this year's art month. Solar Plate Etching is a very fascinating form of printmaking, it involves first printing your image/collage onto a transparent film, the image is then transferred onto the Solar Plate, which in order to transfer must be left out in the sun for a couple of minutes. The plate is then washed with water. All that's left to after washing it is to place the different colour inks onto the plate, and then the image is printed onto a piece of paper using a etching press. This was an amazing experience that I really enjoyed, and would recommend to people of all artistic levels.
Once again I'm sincerely sorry for not keeping up to date, I will hopefully, very soon be posting a new blog post, until next time.
With Love XOXO
