Students now begin the process of working with using their print blocks in creating a design. These designs will not be limited to their own prints or to a single image, so practice begins on newspaper as students strive for 'clean' prints.
The printing process is one which has many aspects. The overall design will incorporate their own images, other students images, partial images, masking, and touching up a print. This process is one that the students will approach one step at a time.
As designs are made, the students continue with their work until their design is large enough to move to the full size sheet for their first edition final.
So once printed these first edition prints are then sketched out in the student's sketchbook to move into the next section of our printing unit. Sketches are then colored using color pencils, this gives students an idea of what colors they will use in their hand painted print.
Next: The Second Edition.
