Lithography

Lithography Wetting a Polyester Lithography Plate

Lithography, a form of printmaking traditionally created from images drawn onto a limestone, was first introduced in the late 18th century to reproduce sheet music. Later made popular by a variety of artists such as Francisco Goya, Honoré Daumier and Toulouse-Lautrec, students will learn how the process developed, as well as its great importance throughout the history of art. Utilizing the resist of grease from water, students will draw on a polyester plate and print it in the same way a traditional lithograph is printed, on a hand-cranked press.
