Printmaking Project

This project was all about printing. I looked at dry point prints, lino prints and collograph printing. The starting point for this project was drawing from a still life set up which i found really usefull as i had 3/4 seeions of just drawing from these set ups. I then chose certain images to make into plates for printing, i really liked using the dry point methord as i thought it looked really professional, however i thought that the collograph looked quite messy and childlike.
