NYSTCE Visual Arts 167 Artistic Processes & Materials With
100% Accurate Solutions!!
Monotype - ANSWER>>-will only produce one print
-artwork is created on a nonabsorbent surface with oil-or water-based ink, and then it is
transferred to paper with a printing press
-this is because, during the process, most of the ink is passed onto the paper without
leaving enough on the surface to yield a second print
-the print can subsequently be enhanced with ink, drawing, or other types of painting
Stamping - ANSWER>>-another form of relief printing
-a stamp is created from rubber, wax, or other materials, including cardboard or even
potatoes
in that the image, in reverse, would be cut on a material and the negative or space
around is cut away and the shape or image is inked and placed onto paper repeatedly to
create many copies of this image
Linocuts and Woodcuts- ANSWER>>-the processes of creating linocut or linoleum cut
and the woodcut is similar
relief printing is done by removing portions of the material to give the image that is to be
printed; different shaped and sized gouges are used to remove the material; cut-away
areas will not carry ink while those remaining will carry ink.
-once artist has cut away the material, the surface is inked with a roller and then run
through a printing press to print the image onto paper
image can be reproduced repeatedly
Mezzotint - ANSWER>>-printmaking technique in which the artist works from dark to
light
- The artist would roughen parts of the plate, for shading, and smooth out other parts,
for the lighter areas, on a copper or steel plate that he was working on.
,This would increase and reduce the areas' ability to hold ink.
Developed in the 17th century, and it could be used to create gradations in the printed
work, rather than everything being black and white.
Aquatint - ANSWER>>-another way to create tonal effects in a print
-fine particles of acid-resistant powdered rosin are melted onto a metal plate, which is
then dipped in acid
-the acid eats away at the metal around the particles, creating an even, granular pattern
that when inked and printed will give an effect similar to a watercolor wash
-the darkness of these tones can be controlled by lengthening or shortening the time
that the plate is exposed to the acid
Ceramics (history) - ANSWER>>-throughout history, ceramics have been used for fine
arts and for functional pieces
-around 24,000 B.C., humans began making small figures out of clay
-in 9,000 or 10,000 B.C., the first functional pottery and bricks were made
-Glazes were discovered in Egypt around 8,000 B.C.
-A potter's wheel was used in Central America around 3,000 B.C.
-in ancient Greece, decorative vases depicted daily life and religion and were later
decorated with black figures and red figures
-pottery now can be mass-manufactured, but many fine artworks and functional pieces
are still created by hand
Porcelain - ANSWER>>-developed in China during the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220)
-items made of porcelain are also called china or fine china, especially in English
speaking countries.
-high-fire clay is made from kaolin, which gives the product pure white
-fired at 1,800°C and at firing, is hard, nonporous and translucent
Ceramics - ANSWER>>-items made from clay, including fine artwork, sculptures,
figurines, and functional items like tiles, dishes, urns and vases
, -item is created, and then heated to set it
-a glaze can be added, and then the item is heated again to set the glaze
-an underglaze can be added first as a painted decoration
-they can be hand built, pressed into molds, or created using a wheel
Sculptures (history) - ANSWER>>-have been made throughout history from many
media, and only the most durable have survived
can be small figures, larger freestanding works, or reliefs attached to walls
-first known prehistoric sculptures are from the Stone Age, approximately 230,000 B.C.,
and they were made from basalt and quartz
-Mesolithic sculpture, from 10,000-4,000 B.C., included freestanding sculptures and
bas-relief works
-in the Neolithic period 4,000-2,000 B.C., bronze statuettes were created
-traditional materials used throughout history include stone, wood, bone, and metal
Venus (sculpture) - ANSWER>>-shaped as obese women, perhaps related to fertility
-found from Stone Age, and made from bone and several types of stone
Classical Greek Sculpture - ANSWER>>-dated from 500-323 B.C., and these
magnificently crafted figures would not be eclipsed until the later Renaissance artists
Rennaissance Sculpture - ANSWER>>-The Renaissance (A.D. 1,400-1,600) was a
"rebirth" of classical ideals, and the sculptors created figures with great realism
-Michelangelo (Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni) is considered as the
greatest Renaissance sculptor
Bas Relief - ANSWER>>-also called a low relief
-final sculpture has a shallow depth and is not raised far from the background
-coins are a good example of this
