This week has been all about exploring marks making in both tried and true methods of printing as well as new techniques. I have done a lot of drawing this week, so I took a break from it with more drawing for this class. Or rather I did a different type of drawing, which counted as a break to me. I have a stack of prints that I have been working back into to add dimension and a sense of activating the prints. My methodology for doing this has been to use pastels and charcoal to give a richness to the prints that they do not have when they are just a single flat color. I wonder if adding multiple colors in the printing method would change that and will have to try it to see if this works for me.
I think that it could be interesting to put multiple colors in one printing process for me. It has a personal connection with my interest in comic book processes. While the printing process has changed for them over the years, the benday dot printing method sees to resonate with this kind of idea, I'm going to investigate it further I think.
