In todays class we visited the Colby Art Museum and discussed the types of printmaking. We learned about two techniques of printmaking one being relief which is the carving into wood and the other being Intaglio, which uses etching, drypoint and engraving. We examined a bunch of artworks and distinguished what technique was used by closely looking through a magnifier to differentiate the lines and patterns.
