Year 9 Dry Point Etchings
Students selected a nursery rhyme. Highlighting a line or phrase from the nursery rhyme they considered the imagery and emotions evoked to create their own illustration. Applying hatching and cross-hatching to develop tone students incised their design into the acetate plate. The plate was then inked and printed using an etching press.
