| Abstract | ||||
| Animated printmaking is an innovative technique. It involves creating a series of artistic prints that suggest movement when displayed in a row. This can be achieved through different methods and techniques, such as using multiple printing plates or incorporating colors and materials with different textures in the print, which provide the creative artist with completely freedom to express his ideas. The research focuses on the origins of animation and its early relationship with printmaking. The research problem is determined by clarifying the link between some printmaking techniques and animation to tell a story in an artistic expressive way, and the different animation methods that can be used to animate artistic prints. The research deals with the descriptive approach in describing printing methods and the historical approach in identifying the origins of animation in drawings. With the rapid technological development and the artist’s urgent desire to use all new techniques and renewable materials, the animated prints has also begun to take an advanced form, such as using colored prints, photographing prints after engraving it successively to clarify the temporal factor and using printmaking techniques in the animated elements themselves. This effort is to produce the artwork in the form of an animated story and convey the idea to the viewer. We conclude that different techniques can be used in animation and printmaking technique used can be made appropriate to the type of successive animation of prints to get a story or to add the temporal element and the third dimension. | ||||
