Art nouveau

Printing timeline

Stone Rubbing & Woodblock - 868 AD

Woodblock printing is the oldest printmaking technique, it originated in China. In woodblock the initial stages were the techniques of cutting or shaping stamps and seals.

I chose to zoom in on a map of the area where my dad lives in Toronto is blocked and neighbourhood I wanted to zoom in on his actual block that he lives in so I took that I sourced a photo from Google Maps and I was able to zoom right into the actual
