Monochrome printmaking

Monochrome printmaking is like making pictures with stamps! But instead of using regular stamps, the artists create special ones called plates. They make these plates out of different materials like wood, metal or linoleum. The plates have designs carved or etched into them.

The artworks made using monochrome printmaking are usually in black and white. To make a print, the artist takes the plate and covers it with ink. They then use a special machine called a press to press paper onto the plate. When the paper is pulled away from the plate, it leaves an imprint of the design on it.

The cool thing about monochrome printmaking is that the artist can make lots of prints from just one plate! They can also experiment with different colors of paper or ink to create different looks for their artwork.

And that's how monochrome printmaking works, like using special stamps to make pictures in black and white.
