Monoprints: Drawing & Printing Abstraction

In this class, we will use the idea of experimenting, and using drawing, tracing, stencil and the printing presses available to us at the Art Escape to create abstract images from nature and  using recycled materials.  

These found materials create all kinds of markings, shapes and images - as they make their way through the press.  Botanicals can compliment the stencils and create openings for more texture, shapes, and imagery to create layered pieces through multiple runs through the press.  When peeling back the paper for the look, it is the surprise element that keeps me coming back to this process.  

This process also works well with other printmaking processes.  Using materials like Tyvek that can be traced or cut into shapes and images, we can layer these elements onto the plate or paper and then put through the press over and over again creating repeat images.  While creating interesting artful images that are so intriguing, they might even be considered poetic.
