Answer:

[answers and drawings will vary]

Block printing is a technique that uses the relief technique of printing. It uses positive space in the block, or matrix, that is inked and then pressed against a surface. The process is as follows:

Obtain materials: block, ink, carving tool, paper (or other surface that is to be printed)

Sketch on the block the negative of the image you wish to print

Carve away the negative space with the carving tool. Be very careful and make deep cuts so they do not become inked.

Ink the block with a roller, brush, or some other instrument.

Press the block against the printing surface.

Let the print dry in a well-ventilated area.

My print is of waves. I was inspired by the Japanese woodcuts of the 18th and 19th centuries. To create multiple colors, I had to create three different blocks, one for each color. I made a master drawing that I used to help me align all the blocks and make sure they were the same size. I carved each block and inked each one separately, letting the ink dry in between prints. There are three waves, one big, one medium, and one small. They are foaming at the top and large, attempting to surround the viewer. They create the feeling of unrest.

Answer: Pattern pressing

Step-by-step explanation:

The technique of block printing is one very interesting technique because it is popular between both children and older people.

It is the process that is considering pattern printing. Those patterns are engraved wooden blocks and they can be colored by the person and after that, a person can press that wooden block on the paper or something else in due to make the art.

It is known as a slow process if it is done by hand.

I will give you one picture from the internet that it is showing this process.
