The preparation may take more time, but almost every student has a positive, successful experience and the teacher has a smoother, more efficient and satisfying experience. Each teacher may find their own adaptations. Having the monotype with mat sticks be the first experience assures the enjoyment of printmaking. The other methods then follow with greater case. I generally repeat variations on the monotype would still allow for a positive printmaking adventure.
Some artists devote their lifetime to monotypes as a means of expression.
You can relate any of these techniques to whatever element of art you want to cover for a particular grade. I hope you enjoy this workshop and, through your experience here, spread the joys and wonders of printmaking. Inc. All rights reserved.
