Printmaking one of the five basic area of creation in visual art. It represents an extremely interesting art field. The very base of each printmaking is a drawing and a motive, which is represented by it. Light-dark contrasts which arise help to a greater visual art expression. It's known that the drawing can be printed from different matrixes. It takes quite a lot of time for techniques of intaglio print and other graphic techniques to be carried out. In my master thesis I analysed the use of new materials and tools making printmaking techniques of intaglio printing. My thesis consists of three parts- theoretical, practical and pedagogical part. In my theoretical part I focused on the elements of art light-dark, which is the basic element of printmaking technique and my master’s thesis, too. We can create it with different elements of art and plastic variables, among which I chose four basic elements of art: shape, light-dark, line and pixel and I used them, too. udI decided for texture in plastic variables, together with number and density. I also talked about the modelation and its connection with the elements of art- light-dark. I presented some of Slovenian and foreign printmaking artists and their works and I found out what brightness keys were used in separate work. I chose the following graphic artists: Morandi, Picasso, Kovačič, Rembrandt, Borčič. I also explained the process of printmaking techniques of intaglio printing which I dealt with in my second part of my master's thesis.udMy author part consists of two parts. In the first part I used standard materials and tools. With different techniques of intaglio printing I used different elements of art and plastic variables which enable to carry out the element light- dark. I also placed my work in brightness key and described its expressive value. I analysed the use of new materials and tools which I later used in my pedagogical part, too in the second part of my thesis. In my pedagogical part I directly explored non-standard materials for intaglio printing in learning process. I did it in the primary school Franceta Bevka in Tolmin in elective course art edducation. udCarrying out this technique one of the very important things is good organization of the teacher, together with a well selected task and motive, the correct material and the right equipment in the Art classroom. The best is introductory motivation, carrying out the techniques, teacher's positive energy and cooperation and help among students. Teachers don’t often practise printmaking techniques because they’re demanding and expensive. In my thesis I wanted to search for cheap materials which would make this technique more affordable, as far as the give many creative and technical encouragement. udThe majority of schools don’t give enough financial support to printmaking techniques. Zinc panels and additional material for gravure printing are quite expensive. I wanted to find alternative for those materials perpsex, plastic foils, crilex, CDs..) which are less expensive. The needles which I create the motive were replaced with nails, tools for linocut, which should be in every classroomand engraving pens. I used ordinary and replacing elements and printmaking tools.udIn the beginning I put down some questions which I tried to answer. I analysed students' experience with questionnaires they had with a certain material and printmaking tool. I also got some results with their works. All the datas helped me to find out which material or tool is the most suitable for the printmaking technique, which is the most interesting and which cause the least problems to students.The results were firstly shown for each work.
