Question 19 • 26/27 INTRO TO ART

Which of the following is not true about printmaking?

Answer
A
There are two main types of printmaking: relief printing and intaglio.
B
To create a wood engraving, the artist carves a design into the hard side of a block of wood.
C
The paper and ink used can affect the quality, and the impression left, of the print.
D
Printmaking originated during the 18th century, and was perfected in the 19th century.

Explanation

Printmaking did not originate in the 18th century. It dates back many centuries, with early examples of printed images appearing in East Asia; it was well established long before the 18th century. The other statements describe printmaking methods and materials accurately, so the statement about its origin and development is not true: choice D, “Printmaking originated during the 18th century, and was perfected in the 19th century.”
