This document provides information about printmaking including its purpose of making multiple copies of an original image. It describes various printmaking processes such as silkscreen, lithography, intaglio/etching, monotype, relief, and reduction printing. Tools used in printmaking such as brayers, carving tools, ink plates, and blocks are also outlined. The document concludes with background on how Jennifer Schmitt created the Periodic Table of Printmaking project to combine art and science.

- 6. Silkscreen Images made by forcing ink through silk stretched on a wooden frame • Stencil or block-out image using fluid • Apply ink to areas were no fluid was used • Squeegee ink through screen onto fabric/paper/clothing

- 10. Lithography Images made by printing on the surface of the stone or surface • A greasy (oil-based) crayon is applied to a smooth block of limestone. – The stone is ground down, acid is applied to clean it, water is sponged onto the stone and oil-based ink is rolled on. • Ink will only stick to the crayon but not the water. • Paper is placed on top and a large press applies pressure to transfer the ink.

- 14. Intaglio Images made by printing from the lower surface • Lines are cut or etched into a smooth plate of metal • Ink is rubbed into the grooves and the surface is wiped clean • Damp paper is forced into the inked grooves by heavy printing press

- 20. Monotype Printing Image made by painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface one time • An image is painted • The paper is pressed onto the image, transferring it. • The unique aspect of a monotype is that the plate can never be replicated.

- 24. Relief Printing Images made by printing from a raised surface • The lowered area does not print – stays the color of the paper. One color ink • Examples – woodcuts, linoleum cuts, found objects, fingerprints

- 29. Reduction Printing • Relief printing using more than one color – Every time a color is printed, that particular color will be carved away, reducing the block down and eliminating that color in order to print a different color

- 34. Tools for Block Printing Brayer Carving tool Barren Ink Ink plate/bench hook Block
- 35. Block the surface that has an image to be printed- wood, linoleum or vinyl
- 36. Linoleum & Carving Tool
- 37. Ink Plate/Bench hook • Used for holding your linoleum in place to carve & for rolling out ink
- 38. Brayer a roller for transferring ink to the ink plate for printing
- 39. Barron 4 ½ inch circular tool used for pressing paper onto a plate or block for hand printing.

- 42. Who thought of this?? • An artist named Jennifer Schmitt from Massachusetts • One day she laid out all her prints on the floor on afternoon and though “Gee, they look like the periodic table." • A friend dared her to do the project • She posted her idea on Etsy and BarenForum.org (a group for printmakers, primarily woodcut artists), and it spread from there... • IT MAY NOT BE TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE: The artist's mother was a high school chemistry teacher
- 43. Jennifer Schmitt with the Periodic Table of Printmaking, on display in Elemental Matters
- 44. Jennifer Schmitt “This visual interpretation makes it easier to remember information about the elements, gives you a story or a tidbit or fact to hang onto. I know far more about a lot elements now than I did a year ago or in 10th grade.”
- 45. The Periodic table of Elements - promoting both science and art • 97 printmakers produced 118 prints in a combo of; woodcut, linocut, monotype, etching, lithograph, silkscreen. • 7 countries - Australia, Canada, England, Italy, Japan, Scotland, United States • 29 US states & Puerto Rico from the US - Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

- 49. A little background.. • Dmitri Mendeleev published the first periodic table in 1869. He showed that when the elements were ordered according to atomic weight, a pattern resulted where similar properties for elements recurred periodically. Based on the work of physicist Henry Moseley, the periodic table was reorganized on the basis of increasing atomic number rather than on atomic weight.
- 52. Artist: Natalia Moroz • Darmstadtium is the synthetic chemical element, a superheavy metal, of atomic number 110. The first atom of the heaviest chemical element was detected in Darmstadt, Germany in 1994. It decays after a small fraction of a thousandth of a second into lighter elements by emitting alpha-particles which are the nuclei of helium atoms. Reading about Darmstadtium I instantly imagined its superheavy atom lifted by an old-fashioned circus weightlifter. He is struggling under the weight while looking expectantly at his wristwatch: the weight is supposed to lighten any millisecond now.
Editor's Notes

- Tin is a silvery-white metal, the chemical element of atomic number 50. (Symbol: Sn). I pictured The Steadfast Tin Soldier from the classic fairy tale by Anderson.
