受表现主义木刻启发的双色版画
这些双色版画由九年级学生使用一种名为Adigraf的柔软易刻橡胶制版材料完成。首先，我们以德国表现主义艺术家的木刻（即以木版为印版的印刷技法）肖像为灵感，绘制了一幅人脸图像；随后，将素描稿用石墨铅笔压印转印至Adigraf版上。
接着，学生使用多种形状的刻刀对印版进行雕刻：雕刻时需刻去空白区域（负空间），而保留着色部分凸起（正空间）。针对第一遍印刷，学生仅雕刻了设计中的一部分区域，并用红色颜料印制。
完成红色的第一遍印刷后，印版被进一步追加雕刻新细节——即再刻去设计中更多部分，以便在红色底色之上套印黑色。第二遍印刷使用黑色颜料，叠加于红色印痕之上，由此形成双色版画效果。下方图片展示了整个制作流程。
- 第一次雕刻：仅雕刻设计中的某些部分
- 用红色颜料进行第一次印刷

- 第二次雕刻：再刻去设计中更多部分
- 用黑色颜料进行第二次印刷
- 黑色的第二次印刷覆盖于红色印痕之上

Two-colors prints inspired by Expressionist Xylograph
These two-colors prints were made by 9th grade students with a printing plate called Adigraf, a soft and easily workable rubber. First, we drew an image depicting a face, inspired by the portraits of the German Expressionists made with Xylograph (technique of printing with woodcut plate). The sketch was then transferred on the Adigraf plate pressing the graphite on the rubber.
After that, the plate has been carved with chisels of various shapes. The students carved their figure making sure to carve the empty areas (negative space) and leaving the colored areas in relief (positive space). They carved only certain parts of the design for the first print with the red paint.
After the first print in red, the plate was further carved with new details. They actually carved out more parts of the design to print in black over the red. The second print with black paint was superimposed on the first printing in red, so as to thereby obtain a two-color printing. In the pictures below we see the whole procedure.
- FIRST CARVE : YOU CARVE JUST SOME PARTS OF THE DESIGN

- SECOND CARVE: YOU CARVE OUT MORE PARTS OF THE DESIGN
- SECOND PRINT IN BLACK PAINT
- THE SECOND PRINT IN BLACK IS PRINTED OVER THE RED
FIRST AND SECOND PRINT OF THE SAME PLATE: THE DETAILS CARVED IN THE SECOND PRINT APPEAR IN RED
