serigraphy - A stencil method of printmaking in which an image is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface.

Serigraphy. A print making technique based on stencilling. Ink or paint is brushed through a fine screen made of silk, and masks are used to produce the design. These can be made of paper, or from varnish applied to the silk itself.

Serigraphy (also referred to as 'silkscreen' or 'screenprint') is a color stencil printing process in which a special paint is forced through a fine screen onto the paper beneath.

screenprinting (serigraphy) A printmaking technique in which stencils are applied to fabric stretched across a frame. Paint or ink is forced with a squeegee through the unblocked portions of the screen onto paper or other surface beneath.

The image is then sprayed on to high quality paper or canvas using vegetable dyes instead of inks or paint as in most other printmaking processes such as serigraphy, lithography, etching, engraving, etc.

Monochromatic: A color scheme that involves different values of a single color.
Perspective: A formal method of creating a three dimensional effect on a two dimensional surface.

The direct technique is versatile enough to produce an unlimited range of colors and depths, which justifies to some extent the opinion that serigraphy is as much a painter's as a printmaker's medium.

1. The material that is used to create an artwork, i.e. oil, acrylic, lithography, serigraphy, marble, bronze, etc.

An artist working in a printmaking medium, such as etching creates a Predetermined number of images. Lithography and serigraphy. Original graphics are produced on a master plate, stone, or screen one at a time using a graphic press.

Historically, the major techniques (also called media) involved are woodcut, line engraving, etching, lithography, and screenprinting (serigraphy, silkscreening) but there are many others, including modern digital techniques.

'zheeclay,' it is is derived from the verb gicler meaning to splash. This new medium is a blend of art and technology that produces copies with a higher resolution and broader color range than such other methods as lithography or serigraphy.

vary the width of the ink stream to as small as 1/100th the width of human hair. It is this capability that gives the giclee its beauty. Giclees have a higher resolution than offset lithographs and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraphy.
