In class on Wednesday we visited the Colby Museum of Art to learn about and view different forms of printmaking. The two primary forms of printmaking were relief (woodcut) and intaglio (including etching, drypoint, and engraving). We were able to look closely at the works by talented printmakers which are held within the museum, including those made by Rembrandt and Dürer. Our ability to get close to the prints, even looking at them under a magnifying glass, allowed us to further understand and differentiate the different printmaking styles and the techniques attributed to different styles.
