PRINTMAKING: Monotype vs. monoprint
~With Hiroki Morinoue
Tuition: $160
Supply Fee: $0
Level: Beginners - Intermediate
Monotype is known as "the most painter-ly method" in printmaking techniques. A conventional approach to printmaking is to create an edition of an image. In contrast, though creating a set of similar images is possible, the characteristic of monotype is that no two prints are alike "mono means one". The beauty of monotype lies in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing processes. In the unique translucency of a monotype print, the quality of light looks very different from a painting on paper or other print styles. Because this method is both dramatic and immediate, artists of all practices can dive in and create beautiful prints as new means of expression.
In this class students will understand the difference between monotype and monoprint as they work through technical variations of these unique printing methods. Processes include direct painting on plexiglass or wood, drypoint techniques and relief printing on medium density fiber board. Learn monotype techniques and understand the subtle balance details.
"I set my life goal to create art and embarked on a journey of studying ways of expressing myself. I have worked successfully in a variety of media including mixed media paintings, prints, ceramics, photography and sculpture. In all of my works, there is a compelling sense of place---of the shoreline, rocks, lava flows and skies of the Big Island. I have long been a patient observer of nature, in particular, of its rhythms, cycles, and patterns. My creativity is two-fold, one to express myself and the other to explore and study different media most suited for the message I want to convey to the viewer." he states as an artist. He is a native of Holualoa and holds a BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts. His major public murals are: Honolulu State Library, Hawaii Convention Center, Pahoa School & Community Library, First Hawaiian Bank in Kailua-Kona & Kapiolani Branches; public collections include Hawaii State Foundation for Culture and Arts, and Ueno No Mori Art Museum (Tokyo, Japan).
