The Internal Cause Of The Evolution Of The Technique Of Printmaking Materials

Throughout the development process of the prints, it is significant for the understanding of the "material" and "technique". Materials and techniques are the material conditions for the survival of print, and the driving force of internal changes, whether it is as a copy tool in the traditional print, or it plays the role of the integration of the art ontology language and expression means in the modern print. In the history of the print, there is no lack of example that the use of new materials and techniques has brought great changes in the entire printing industry. Therefore, it is very important to study the evolution of the material technique for understanding the development of the print. This paper focuses on the internal cause of this evolution.For this reason, this paper firstly confirms the importance of materials and techniques in the introduction, and summarizes the internal causes of its evolution. In addition, this paper will explain this internal form different historical stage:Firstly, the starting point of the print: in general, form the plural concept of “version” to the formation of the concept of plate making is summarized, and the internal factors of selecting the wood plate and matching techniques are analyzed.Secondly, carding the replacement of materials and techniques of the four traditional version(woodcut, copper plate, lithography, silk screen version); discuss the internal factors of the change of the material on the plate; simultaneous, influenced by science and technology and civilization, it is also the inevitable result of the change of the value of the times and the aesthetic judgment.Thirdly, from black and white to gorgeous color, horizontally analysis that as a result of the addition of color embodied, print expends the materials and techniques, comparatively analysis the differences between the East and the West in the selection of materials and their internal reasons.Fourthly, print for art: mainly analysis the development status of print after twentieth Century; illustrate the print form the specification of the material techniques to the understanding of the materials and techniques; explore and test the new materials and techniques; all of these have contributed to the evolution of the print in a more liberal direction.Finally come to the conclusion, the internal cause of the evolution of the whole print materials and techniques is that existing objective conditions can not meet the needs of people on the diversity of image reproduction.Therefore, a breakthrough attempt is produced, which leads to the change of self discipline.
