different types of matrices
wood or linoleum for matrix. ink rolled on using a brayer. image printed in reverse

intaglio
embossing
gauffrage
many layers of endgrain hardwood are laminated together, ends are planted flat to produce a hard, nondirectional surface
wood engraving
clean-cut lines are engraved on a plate of copper, zinc, or steel, by forcing the sharpened point of a burin across the surface with the heel of the hand b/c the lines are transferred to paper under extreme pressure
engraving
dragging needle across surface, one side remains a metal burr in needle's wake. burr retains particles of ink creating soft line
drypoint
plate of copper of zinc. draws image with etching needle, plate placed into an acid bath. acid eats exposed metal and makes groove, thick ink rubbed into grooves using dauber or a lint-free cloth called tarlatan, damp paper placed on top then run through the press, soft-grounded employs a ground of softened wax and can be used to render the effects of crayon or pencil drawing
etching
a rocker (curved, multitoothed implacement) to produce thousands of tiny pits to hold the ink. scrapped/burnished areas hold less ink. broad range of tones is achieved
mezzotint
metal plate is evenly covered with fine powder of acid-resistant resin plate heated- resin adheres to surface. matrix placed in acid bath. depth of tone controlled by removing plate from acid and covering pits that have been sufficiently eched
aquatint
artist draws image with greasy crayon directly on a flatstone slab. small particles of crayon adhere to the granular texture of stone matrix
lithography
(silkscreen) screen of finely woven cloth is tightly strecthed on a frame. stencilling- may be hand-cut from film, painted with tusche or created with photosensitive emulsion
seriography
drawing or painting created with oil paint or watercolor on a nonabsorbant surface of any material brushes are used, but sometimes fine detail is rendered by scratching paint off the plate with sharp implements
monotype
signing prints
(in pencil) Title (medium), edition #, artist's signiture, imp. date
to write with light
photography

Handgun
the art of carving, casting, modeling, or assembling materials into 3-D figures or forms
sculpture
similar to 2-D works in that their 3-D forms are raised from a flat background
relief sculptures
the forms project only slightly from the background
bas-relief
figures project by at least half their natural depth
high relief
have fronts, sides, backs, and tops
free-standing sculptures
unwanted material is removed
subtractive process
material is added, assembled, or built up to reach its final form
additive process
the sculptor begins with a block of material and cuts portions of it away until the desired form is created
carving
a pliable material such as clay or wax is shaped into a 3-D form
modeling
liquid material is poured into a mold, liquid hardens into the shape of the mold and is then removed
casting
original model is scuplted from clay. mold is made molten wax is brushed or poured into the mold to make a hollow wax model
lost-wax technique
wax rods
gates
fire resistant mold
investiture
treated chemically to take on the texture and color desired by the sculptor
burnished
forms are built from materials such as wood, paper, and string, sheet metal, and wire
constructed sculptor
extremely hard, durable material that may be carved, scraped, drilled, and polished
stone
may be carved, scraped, drilled, and polished but may also be permanently molded and bent
wood
more pliable that stone or wood

used to prevent clay figures from sagging
armature
cast, extruded, forged, stamped, drilled, filed, and burnished
metal
metal sculptures by welding, riverting, and soldering
direct
artist builds or constructs the sculpture from materials such as cardboard, celluloid, translucent plastic, sheet metal, or wire, frequently creating forms that are lighter that those made from carving stone, modeling clay, or casting metal
constucted sculpture
pre-existing, or found, objects recognizable in form, are intergrated by the sculptor into novel combinations that take on a life and meaning of their own
