Printmaking

I've got a bit more stuff from my printmaking class. We experimented with block printing, photo etching, monoprints, and collage. The last seems random, I know, but you'll see.

This is a block print that is used later on in one of the big prints. This is the first print of the class.


This next print is the first of the two large mono print projects I did. These two monoprints had a common theme. The theme was the intercultural meshing that my Chinese roommate, Ben Yang, and I underwent last year. I learned of the Chinese culture and he partook of the American culture, because he had already lived here for four or five years. I used a background that hinted at an American flag and used imagery of the Great Wall and the previous eagle.
