Smart Art 2014: Lithography and Printmaking

Friday, April 25th, 2014 – 6:30pm

We will explore some basic printmaking techniques with the goal of making both temporary and permanent printing plates.  There will be experimentation and creative problem solving needed to develop ideas for how to make printing blocks using core principles, such as the fact that oil and water do not mix (the cornerstone of lithography), with household objects.  We will work with a reductive drawing technique where an image is etched or scratched onto a prepared surface then applying and removing paint to reveal the etched design.  We will also explore a method of transferring digital images onto high quality water color paper with hand mark-making possibilities.

Not all projects will be suitable for all ages as some use sharp tools and chemicals, but there will be things for all age groups to do.

The event is being held at Todd Academy and will be led by the Todd Academy art teacher, Aaron Green.  Aaron has a BFA from Herron School of Art and an MFA from the University of Illinois. He has exhibited across the country, been published in books and magazines, and has work in both private and corporate collections.  Prior to Todd Academy Aaron has taught at the University of Illinois, the Prairie Art Alliance, and Herron School of Art. He also has a certificate in Reboundology, a license to operate a nail gun in New York City,  and once sang with the band Genesis.
