Graphic design | art. The Printmaking Process - Visual Arts Brampton. Printmaking is an art medium that has grown in popularity within the last century. There are many forms of printmaking which range in complexity yet all forms are based on the same principle: transferring an image from a matrix onto a transferring base. The printmaker draws, etches or carves an image onto a printing matrix - such as a stone or a metal plate. The matrix is then coated with ink, covered with a transferring base - such as paper or fabric - and then printed with a roller press or a hand press. The resulting print is often identical to the image first put onto the matrix. Numerous copies can be made from one matrix.
Techniques Monoprint, Monotype Printing The monotype or monoprint occupies a space between painting and the graphic arts, the proofs being a unique, and not an identical replica of an original picture. EmbossingSolid objects are laid on damp paper and put through the press, either at the same time as the plate or before hand. Gallery Talk: Contemporary Printmaking.

The Industrial Revolution (1750-1850) The era known as the Industrial Revolution was a period of fundamental changes in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and social structure.
Beginning in England, this period was a true “revolution,” for it thoroughly destroyed the old manner of doing things. An economy based on manual labor and skilled artisans was replaced by one dominated by industry, machinery, and mass production. Energy was a major impetus for this conversion from an agricultural society to an industrial one. Animal and human power were the primary sources of energy until James Watt perfected the steam engine in 1775. What started it all: James Watt’s steam engine The introduction of steam powered machinery (fueled by coal) opened the door to dramatic increases in production, and in the manufacture of more machines. Although the Industrial Revolution first occurred in England, it was a radical time of social and economic change in America and most of Europe as well.
