受葡萄牙阿祖莱霍瓷砖启发的版画

在我最近一次前往里斯本的旅行中，我发现了阿祖莱霍瓷砖（Azulejos） 的美感与无穷变化——这种传统陶瓷瓷砖遍布葡萄牙各地的建筑表面。阿祖莱霍是一种典型的葡萄牙装饰艺术，由厚实的陶瓷砖制成，表面施釉并绘有图案。传统上呈正方形，尺寸为12厘米×12厘米。

在讲解完对称性概念后，我和学生们实践了辐射对称——即相同部分围绕中心轴呈环形排列的一种对称形式。我们使用手工泡沫板作为印版，制作了一幅辐射对称版画。

首先，我们在一张10厘米×10厘米的小方块描图纸上沿对角线对折，再于三角形区域内用铅笔绘制一幅简单图案：包含6条不同线条（曲线、混合线、直线等）、2至3个小型图形及若干简易装饰元素。随后将该图案复制到描图纸另一侧，从而形成对称构图。

这张已装饰的小方块描图纸被覆于尺寸相同的（10厘米×10厘米）手工泡沫印版之上。我们用彩色铅笔从背面按压线条，施加轻微压力，使石墨转印至泡沫表面，由此在印版上留下浅淡的轮廓线。接着，我们用削尖的铅笔沿轮廓线进行刻划。

刻划完成后，我们用剪刀裁去印版边缘，塑造成富有装饰感且对称的外形。还需在印版背面标出中心点，以便后续围绕该点进行辐射式印刷。

为提供支撑底板，我们在绘画纸上（20厘米×20厘米）测量并画出一个正方形，并在其中绘制三个同心圆。正方形与圆环均以水彩着色。

印刷装饰图案时，我们选用深蓝色油墨，以模仿阿祖莱霍瓷砖的典型色调。该版画共印制4次，每次围绕中心点旋转印版完成一次印刷。

Prints inspired by Portuguese Azulejos

During my last trip to Lisbon I discovered the beauty and the infinite variety of the Azulejos , the traditional ceramic tiles you can find everywhere on the Portoguese architectures. The Azulejo is a typical Portuguese decoration which consist of a Thick ceramic tile with a glazed and decorated surface. Traditionally it is square-shaped and its size is 12cmx12cm.

After talking about the notion of symmetry my students and I put into practice the radial symmetry, which is a form of symmetry in which identical parts are arranged in a circular fashion around a central axis. We experienced this kind of symmetry with a radial print using a printing plate in craft foam.

First we drew a simple drawing on a little square of tracing paper (10cmx10cm) folded along the diagonal. The little drawing with pencil on this triangular shape consists of 6 different lines (curved, mixed, straight…), 2 or 3 little shape and some simple decorations. The drawing have been copied on the other side of the little sheet of tracing paper, so that we create a symmetrical drawing.

This little square of decorated tracing paper has been leaning on the printing plate in craft-foam which has the same size of the sheet (10cmx10cm). Whit a colored pencil we pressed the lines on the back, creating a slight pressure in order to stamp the graphite on the surface of the craft-foam. In that way we obtained a faint drawing on the surface of the printing plate. After that we engraved the lines with a sharpened pencil.

After engraving we cut out the edges of the printing plate with scissors, in oder to mold it with a decorative and symmetrical shape. On the back of the printing plate we need to mark the centre, around with we’ll print the image in a radial way.

For support we measured and drew a square on a drawing sheet (20cmx20cm) with 3 circle inside of it. The square and the rings have been colored with watercolors.

For printing the decoration we chose a dark blue ink, to imitate the typical color of the Azulejos. The print has been repeated 4 times, turning the printing plate around the centre.
