Hacer una lista de las herramientas y equipos necesarios para la impresión.

Escribir un párrafo sobre los principios de diseño y letras tal como se aplica para la impresión xilográfica.

The most confusing aspect of block printing letters is that the letters must be carved into the block as a mirror-image. When the block is pressed to the paper, the image will be reversed, and the letter will look proper. The saying "watch your p's and q's" comes from the fact that a p looks like a q, and a q looks like a p when viewing the type (whether movable type, or letters carved into a block).

Usando una papa, crear un diseño que incorpore sus iniciales y utilícelo para imprimir sus iniciales en papel.

Remember to reverse the letters and to put your first initial on the right side of the potato, and your last initial on the left.

4

Diseñar e imprimir al menos una tarjeta de felicitación.

For this, we highly recommend that you use linoleum for the printing block. As you should well know from your experience with the previous requirement, potato printing leaves a lot to be desired.

5

Diseñar e imprimir una etiqueta o una portada de un libro.

Follow the procedure outlined in the previous requirement. A bookplate is a small piece of paper that is glued to the inside cover of a book to identify the owner. This obviously will require you to print some text, as that's the only way most of us write our names. A book cover should have the book's title as well as the author's name. It should be large enough to cover the outside of the book.

Pasando por las etapas de diseño, tallado o impresión, crear otra pieza original de trabajo de su elección.

This could be a poster, another greeting card, another bookplate, another book cover, or whatever you would like to make. Repeating a carved pattern, while rotating it and/or changing the color can can create art work worth framing.
