Collagraph Reading Response

Relief Printing, reading response

1) What are some ways to make a relief block or plate that you had not considered before reading this chapter? What sorts of things do you need to consider before you choose a method for creating a relief block or plate?

2) Which relief techniques from the reading are you particularly interested in and why?

3) Find an example of a relief print online and post a link to it. Why did you choose this piece? What do you appreciate most about it?
