Explain how woodblock printing is done. where, and when, did it originate?

Woodcutting means “art of wood engraving. Printing technique in which the design is carved with a gouge, chisel, knife or burin on a wooden plate ”.

The probable origins of woodcut refer to the oriental culture. According to historians, the woodcut was created by the Chinese and had been practiced by this people since the 6th century. During the Middle Ages, the woodcut was established in the West, gaining innovations during the 18th century. to European nations, where they influenced 19th century arts and helped Thomas Bewick create the technique of top engraving, lowering the industrial production costs of picture books and starting large-scale production of pictorial images.

Woodcut can be described as a kind of stamp. In its process, an engraving is carved into the wood with the aid of a sharp object, and then an ink-soaked rubber roller is used, which penetrates only the parts where the engraving (notch) is. Then the part of the picture is placed in contact with the surface to be illustrated. After a few minutes, the wood is removed, leaving the image impregnated in place. This technique is also called embossing and can be made from linoleum (linoleogravure) or any flat surface.

i would love to you but i cant see a picture. i see that you already told someone before that i wont let post pictures on well i can kinda of you. posting pictures on here with your question is so much easier if your posting them on the app on your phone. if your trying to post a picture on a computer what you have to do is find out the name of the painting or equation, and once you've got that go to google type in the name and ta-da! and then last but not least you have to copy it. at the bottom of where you typing out the question you sould have this thing that looks like a paper clip and hit that and it should let you add it on here.

i hope this

have a great day
