I don t generally mind when students leave a few minutes before the end of class, if they are caught up and producing amazing prints. Let s all try to excel beyond mediocrity.

Intention is very important in art.
In this unit you will develop a group of monotypes working with the additive and subtractive techniques. Monoprint is a term art dealers often use interchangeably with monotype. Thick rubber erasers, X-acto knives, newsprint, printmaking paper and rice paper, and ink. The excitement of combining and forming these materials into personalized images, inking them, and then transferring the images to paper is what collagraphy is all about. Some characteristics of this relatively new means of printmaking are worth mentioning.
