In this presentation on the history of relief printmaking participants examine the varied techniques and tools used by Western and Asian artists to create their works. Additional topics include the change in function of prints, from religious aids during the Middle Ages in Germany and elsewhere to the use of Japanese prints as part of popular tourist culture in the 19th century. We will compare origins of both printmaking traditions and learn about the sequence of Japanese woodblock printmaking.
