STUDENT RESPONSES BELOW:
"In the videos the lithography artists use a water layer that repelled the greasy substance in order to print. And also, one artist used tracing paper (2 video) but the artist in the first video did not. In the first video the man said that US dollar bills are prints of each other. Last, the first artist showed a relief print, a lithography print, and antalio (not totally sure) printmaking unlike the first man who just showed lithography." Riley Counsell

"The lithography process certainly makes the best prints out of all the ways to print, but it is probably pretty dangerous too. You are working with a lot of chemicals (probably not as harmful as I'm thinking) and if you make one accidental move with your hand, something bad could happen. It also takes a lot more time than just plain printing (like what we're doing), with lots of steps that take a while to complete. The lithography process makes the best pictures though, and probably is the most detailed since you are almost drawing your image onto the stone." Olivia Muscott

"I think it is very unique how they transfer the etched stone and ink into a piece of artwork. A lot of detail must be entered into it so that the ink will repel the water and attract the grease. There must be a lot of pressure applied to get the image to transfer." Maggie Volloutreix

"The lithography process is a very cool process that involves print making. There are three main types. The one that we are doing is the one with carving rubber and stamping it. I really like the art project we are doing on this and i think the lithography process is really cool." Katia Hanger
