Description
BLOTTED LINE
Andy Warhol loved reproduction. He already worked with printing techniques as a graphic arts student, in order to produce his ideas in serial form. During the workshop you can get to know a very simple method known as “monotype”. Using the so-called “blotted line” technique, Warhol created images from fine dotted and broken ink lines, which became the trademark of his early illustrations. His motifs ranged from extravagant shoes to his beloved cats. He invited his friends to “coloring parties” to color in the outlines of the prints: in this way, hundreds of his prints became unique, colorful originals.
Create your own “blotted line” motif and become part of our “coloring party”!
The workshop will take place in the ticket-free area of the Factory space (lower level) and is run by Elli Hurst.
THE OPEN FACTORY
Every Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., the intergenerational drop-in format “Open Factory” provides the right setting to get creative with the whole family or with friends. Changing techniques and themes entice you to take part in varied artistic projects, and to stroll through the exhibitions. Whether drawing, painting, using different printing techniques or dancing, whether analog, digital or hybrid—we will take you into the world of colors and shapes and appeal to your imagination and creative spirit.
