Prints and Photography

Question 1

Prints generally fall into three main categories

Answer 1

Relief printing, intaglio, planographic process

Question 2

woodcut, wood engraving, collograph, and linoleum cut

Answer 2

Relief printing

Question 3

etching and aquatint

Answer 3

Intaglio

Question 4

lithography and serigraphy (silkscreen), and other forms of stenciling

Answer 4

planographic process

Question 5

The image transfers to the paper by eliminating of non-image areas and inking the remaining surface. Therefore, the image protrudes, in relief, from the block or plate and produces a picture reversed from the image carved by the artist.

Answer 5

Relief printing

Question 6

The opposite of relief printing, transfers ink to the paper not from raised areas but rather from grooves cut into a metal plate. Line engraving, etching, drypoint, and aquatint comprise some of the methods of intaglio.

Answer 6

Intaglio

Question 7

printmaking techniques where the image is printed from a flat, level surface

Answer 7

planographic process

Question 8

Is a printmaking technique that involves gluing assorted objects onto a board or plate. The raised surfaces are inked and printed, resulting in a relief print. This method allows for a variety of textures and shapes in the final print

Answer 8

Collograph

Question 9

involves cutting grooves into the metal plate
with special sharp tools

Answer 9

Line Engraving

Question 10

process in which the artist removes the surface of a metal plate by exposing it to an acid bath

Answer 10

Etchings

Question 11

requires scratching the surface of the metal plate with a needle. Unlike line engraving, which results in a clean, sharp line, this technique leaves a ridge, called a burr, on either side of the groove, resulting in a somewhat fuzzy line.

Answer 11

Drypoint

Question 12

this process enables an artist to create areas of solid
nonlinear tone on an etching plate as well as gradations of tone from white through a range of grays to black. The process consists of dusting the plate with a resin substance and then heating the plate, which affixes the
resin.

Answer 12

Aquatint

Question 13

is the art and practice of capturing images using a camera, primarily to record the world or to manipulate and transform reality through the medium. It involves the use of light-sensitive materials to create two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional subjects.

Answer 13

Photography

Question 14

is a genre of photography where photographers approach their work as a form of artistic expression. It goes beyond mere documentation and often involves creative choices in composition, size, texture, tonality, and manipulation. Art photographers aim to create images that convey a unique artistic vision.

Answer 14

Question 15

is a movement that aimed to replace traditional painting as a means of revealing the world. Photographers believed that photographs could capture the immediacy of reality better than paintings. They often explored unique interpretations of reality through their images.

Answer 15

Postmodern Photography

Question 16

Answer 16

Documentary Photography

Question 17

refer to the various methods and processes employed in photography to create images. This includes the use of cameras, the development of photographic materials, and the application of different approaches such as daguerreotype, wet-plate collodion, color photography, and digital technology, each representing different eras in the history of photography.
