WORKING TITLE:
An Investigation into Safe Printing Methods with Etching without
Acid in Pakistani Art & Design Higher Education.
DESCRIPTION:
This project will investigate the
safe printing methods that will be different and safer than our traditional
methods. In particular, it will focus on the methods of “Etching without Acid” to
investigate and demonstrate by the researcher own practice.
This issue is significant because the traditional printmaking methods, we use different acids and substance the hazardous chemical that can generate a high range of toxicity during the studio
practice, which is a high risk for our health and safety and also for the safe
printmaking studio practice’s environment.
Since this traditional method has
been used from centuries, research and awareness campaign on safe methods of
printmaking has been started in the world and safe methods are being
introduced. While in Pakistan higher educational institutions where art degree
is given, and artist’s individual studio practice. There is still the same
traditional toxic methods are the part of curricula that is very dangerous not
only for art teachers, students but also for everyone who is associated with
printmaking studios. My research project can play a vital role in introducing
new and safer methods of printmaking in art and Design higher education in
Pakistan.
RESEARCH KEY QUESTION:
1. How to investigate the safe printing methods,
their challenges by etching without acid and explore safer alternatives to toxic printmaking processes?
2. How to investigate the new safe printing methods with etching
without Acid, for the Pakistani Art & Design Higher Education?
AIM OF THE PROJECT:
This project aims to
explore new Safe methods through the researcher’s own practice in order to raise
awareness of health & safety by safe methods to demonstrate, it can be done
using in my University as a case and this research project will play an
important role first time in introducing new and safer methods of printmaking,
especially in Pakistani higher art education.
.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of
this research project is to investigate and evaluate safe printing methods and
alternatives, through the researcher's own practice, to raise awareness of
health & safety by safe Printing methods.
1. The Production of Electro Etching machine, to
make Possible the etching
without Acid for safe studio practice'
that can be the base of experimental Creative safe practice.
2. To test this new structure
of electro etching, Machin’s every aspect in order to critically evaluate the
relationship between printmakers' creative practices and the exploration of 'environmentally
safe printing methods.
3. To produce a
visual art practice by new safe methods, the results of these creative works will meet the aims of this project, and will raise
awareness of Health and Safety and change print studio Practice at my university.
CONTEXT:
This research project particularly consist of the major subject of safe Printing and issues of printmaking studio Practice with the
context of Health and safety with Pakistani art & Design Higher Education
Context.
A literature search
dealing specifically with Safe Printing Methods with Etching without Acid
revealed the limited nature of existing published literature, with less a 3
references relating directly to issues of safe printmaking practices. { Dr Wael A. Sabour.
2017(Vol-58, The Non-Toxic Contemporary Approach to Teaching Printmaking
Art} Cedric, Green FRSA. 2013(Green
Print Prints A Handbook On Some New Methods For Non-Toxic Intaglio Etching ) PENGELLY, J., 1997(Environmentally
sensitive printmaking: a framework for safe practice)
The
approximately 900 references available related Fine art Printmaking, most of
they are specific to fine arts printmaking, in that most of the research references
describes the techniques of printmaking, with the exception of a few that
describe brief health & safety. In addition, the following three references
refer to safe Printing methods, health & safety .that the researcher can
use as a reference in his research. But there is no mechanism available which
is established especially for health and safety of art and Design as
international law.
There is
no availability of any literature related to safe methods of Printmaking in the Context of
Health & safety in Pakistani higher education.
By the
deep review this relevant sources the researcher can find the best Safer
Methods to fill this Gap specifically deal with safe printmaking methods and
alternatives.
In this
research project the researcher will continue the critical reviews of the
relevant sources to full fill the Gap in the context of safe printing methods
with health and safety issues.
METHODS:
The contextual review
has pointed out that there is no pre-existing authoritative and safe way for a
working safe printmaking practice that allows an artist, printmaker to continue
a safe, healthy creative work, especially in Pakistanis. Syllabus based
practice in higher education institutes of art and design and artist’s personal
studio practice. This is where the foundation of my research begins, so this
research will be brought to a logical conclusion in the following
Methodologies.
(1) Take a closer
look through the deep review of relevant Sources and find out more aspects
related to the research project.
(2) make possible the
electro etching Unit making and replacing the traditional printmaking practice
with an electro-etching machine and continuing the creative process through it.
(3) The researcher
will do creative work through safe practice using an electro-etching machine which
will be presented as evidence in this research.
