Lenore Thomas Demonstration - TJ Brandt

Last week our class was lucky to have Lenore Thomas come and demonstrate for our printmaking class. Lenore Thomas is an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh and she works with mixed media in her works. She is also a part of an artistic collaboration called "Satan's Camero".

The demonstration that she showed the class was how to mix different types of media in order to make an amazing work of art. For example, she showed us we could combine lithography, silkscreen, and etching together, as well as xerox transfer and make something very unique in its own way. Another thing that i thought was extremely interesting is the fact that Lenore Thomas uses the same designs or plates for some of her works...she even still uses one she has had since grad school. Although she uses the same plates/designs, she is able to change the colors or how she uses the plate in the piece which makes it different from the last.

All in all i learned a lot from Lenore Thomas's demonstration. It was very interesting to see how she combined all different kinds of techniques. This will come in handy, as for our final project we are required to do more than one way of printmaking.
