    Which of the following is/are planographic printmaking technique(s)? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is/are planographic printmaking technique(s)?

    • Serigraphy

    • Silk screen

    • Lithography

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the options listed are planographic printmaking techniques. Serigraphy and silk screen printing involve using a fine mesh screen to transfer ink onto a surface, while lithography involves using a flat stone or metal plate with a design etched onto it. In all of these techniques, the image is transferred onto the printing surface without any raised or recessed areas, making them planographic techniques.

    Which of the following is not an intaglio printmaking technique? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not an intaglio printmaking technique?

    • Engraving

    • Aquatint/Etching

    • Drypoint

    • Multi Wood Block Print

    Correct Answer
    A. Multi Wood Block Print
    Explanation
    Intaglio printmaking techniques involve incising or engraving an image onto a surface, inking it, and then transferring the inked image onto paper. Engraving, aquatint/etching, and drypoint are all examples of intaglio techniques. However, multi wood block print is not an intaglio technique. It is a relief printmaking technique where multiple wood blocks are carved with different parts of an image and then printed onto paper.

    Which type of print does not render a mirror image? - ProProfs

    Which type of print does not render a mirror image?

    • Woodcut

    • Serigraph/Silkscreen

    • Etching

    • Mezzotint

    Correct Answer
    A. Serigraph/Silkscreen
    Explanation
    Serigraph/Silkscreen is the correct answer because it is a type of printmaking that involves using a stencil to create an image. Unlike other printmaking techniques such as woodcut, etching, and mezzotint, serigraph/silkscreen does not involve carving or etching the image onto a surface. Instead, ink is forced through the stencil onto the paper, resulting in a direct and non-reversed image.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 
    Which technique is used to tonally model and image in printmaking? - ProProfs

    Which technique is used to tonally model and image in printmaking?

    • Woodcut

    • Aquatint

    • Serigraphy

    • Monotype

    Correct Answer
    A. Aquatint
    Explanation
    Aquatint is a technique used in printmaking to tonally model an image. It involves creating a series of tones by etching a metal plate with acid. The acid bites into the plate, creating tiny dots or lines that hold ink and produce different shades when printed. This technique allows for a wide range of tonal values and can create a rich and textured appearance in the final print. Woodcut, serigraphy, and monotype are other printmaking techniques, but they do not specifically focus on tonal modeling like aquatint does.

  • 6. 
    Which of the following is not true, in relation to printmaking? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not true, in relation to printmaking?

    • Printmaking is an art form of multiples

    • Prints are not considered to be fine art

    • An edition is denoted by a fraction at the bottom of the print

    • There are three basic categories of printmaking

    Correct Answer
    A. Prints are not considered to be fine art
    Explanation
    Printmaking is an art form of multiples, meaning that multiple copies of the same artwork are created. An edition is denoted by a fraction at the bottom of the print, indicating the specific copy number out of the total number of copies made. There are indeed three basic categories of printmaking: relief, intaglio, and planographic. However, the statement that prints are not considered to be fine art is not true. Prints can be highly valued and appreciated as fine art, with many famous artists creating print works that are highly sought after by collectors and displayed in prestigious art institutions.

    What term refers to the alignment of prints when using multiple colors? - ProProfs

    What term refers to the alignment of prints when using multiple colors?

    • Press

    • Brayer

    • Registration

    • Matrix

    Correct Answer
    A. Registration
    Explanation
    Registration refers to the process of aligning multiple colors in printmaking or any other form of printing. It ensures that each color is properly positioned and does not overlap or misalign with other colors, resulting in a clear and accurate final print. Press, brayer, and matrix are not specifically related to the alignment of prints when using multiple colors.

    Which printmaking technique is typically thought to be a one-of-a-kind, and is considered to be quite spontaneous? - ProProfs

    Which printmaking technique is typically thought to be a one-of-a-kind, and is considered to be quite spontaneous?

    • Aquatint

    • Monoprint

    • Monotype

    • Both monotype and monoprint

    Correct Answer
    A. Both monotype and monoprint
    Explanation
    Both monotype and monoprint are printmaking techniques that are typically considered to be one-of-a-kind and spontaneous. In a monotype, an image is created by applying ink or paint to a smooth surface and then transferring it onto paper. This process allows for a unique and unpredictable result with each print. Similarly, in a monoprint, a base image is created using a printing plate, but additional elements such as hand-painting or stenciling are added to create variations in each print. These techniques offer artists the opportunity to experiment and create one-of-a-kind prints.
