Collograph[y]






So today at school we were asked to begin our ideas and plates for a collograph print. Unfortunately my profesor is not so well at explaining techniques and materials, so I was forced into doing my own research outside of class since I have no recollection as to what he was actually saying during class. I probably learn more by actually going out of my way to learn something rather than listen to the murmur of my instuctor explain something he'd rather not be explaining. So, here is the result of my research. This is a collograph print created by Jenny Bullen. It seems rather simple compared to the explanation given by my instructor. That's not to say that the ideas and thoughts behind this creation were simple....just the overall technique. After a little googlin' I'm inspired to actually do something with this rather than stare at my classmates hoping for some collographatic epiphany!
