Foundation workshops: developing skills

a print made by drawing or inking on a surface and pressing onto paper

scanning or photographing the print to create a digital copy

printing the design directly from a computer file

adding digital overlays and textures immediately

What is the first step of exploring traditional prints and digitising them?

What is a good object to use for a monoprint?

to cut into a lino block and inking the raised areas

to etch lines into a metal plate with acid

to layer colours digitally before printing

to arrange textured materials onto a surface to create a collaged printing plate

Which statement best explains how a collagraph is made?

by adding layers of colour, texture, or imagery that expand possibilities

by automatically fixing mistakes in carving or etching

by making the printing process faster without changing the design

by replacing the need for traditional tools entirely

How can digital overlays enhance traditional prints?

by limiting them to one traditional technique only

by combining traditional methods with digital overlays, edits, or enhancements

by removing the need for hands-on processes completely

by ensuring every print looks identical with no variation
