Dr. De Freitas (I GOOGLED HIM) told us about the history of printmaking techniques from wood cuts in the early 15th century to modern, mass-produced litho prints.
We looked at choice of print technique in advertising and by artists, to achieve certain effect, for example the use of crude wood engravings to evoke a sense of nostalgia.
I looked at some of the key artists he discussed in more detail. These include:
Harry Brockway, William Nicholson, Franz Masseral, Chris Wormall, T.Buick, Frank Martin, William Blake, Thomas Rowlindson, George Cruikshanks, H.Daumier and Graham Sutherland (see etching below)
Rose even though you have missed some of the sessions due to illness you have sought out rich research material, it's all here you have a wealth of sources to use in your work, so now you need to apply it to your own practise, good. Caroline B
