Discover the history and techniques behind the fine art of printmaking. This CD-ROM features four types of printmaking: relief, intaglio, lithography, and screenprinting. Using video clips and 3-D animation, the program takes the viewer into the studios of contemporary printmakers, who demonstrate these processes in clear, easy-to-follow steps using the same simple image of a tree. In addition, the program includes detailed visuals and discussions about more than 40 prints from The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, from such old masters as Schongauer, Dürer, and Rembrandt to modern artist like Gauguin, Picasso, and Jim Dine.
