These prints are intended for the artist's personal use and are normally identical to the edition print. Usually printing of an image from a clean, unworked surface containing no scratching, no carving, no stencil. Like the monotype, but the artist uses a process that uses a retrievable image, such as a print pulled from a plate that already has an image incised into it. Each successive print is a variant of the one before. Printmaking technique in which the image is printed from a raised surface, usually produced by cutting away non image areas.
Ink is applied to the remaining surface.
The stencil openings determine the form and dimensions of the imprint thus produced. The emotional or intellectual message of an artwork. The expression, essential meaning, significance, or aesthetic value of a work of art. Content refers to the sensory, subjective, psychological, or emotional properties we feel in a work of art. Content is not just a description of the subject matter.
