Print Making Processes (from the Chuck Close: Learning Resources - Teacher packet)The process in which a work of art, usually on paper, is created from a “plate” that has been transformed to contain areas that will and will not transfer ink to a surface it comes into contact with. Printmaking methods fall into one of four main categories: relief, intaglio, planographic and stencil processes.

Relief Processes

Intaglio Processes

Planographic Processes

Stencil Processes

From the Museum of Modern Art in NYC: An interactive demonstration of various printmaking methods artists use to transfer their original composition to another service through the creation of a print is accessible at the following link (Must have Flash 5 plugin): http://moma.org/exhibitions/2001/whatisaprint/flash.html
