“Vidyarthi Vishesh” is in its fourth & final phase at the gallery.
Featured are Graphics, Drawings, etc., by various artists.
The process of printmaking, generally on paper, is a schooled activity in art colleges. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints with an
element of originality, rather than just being a photographic
reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which is called a print.
Each print produced is not considered a "copy" but rather is considered
an "original". This is because typically each print varies to an extent
due to variables intrinsic to the printmaking process, and also because
the imagery of a print is typically not simply a reproduction of
another work but rather is often a unique image designed from the start
to be expressed in a particular printmaking technique.

Prints are created by transferring ink from a matrix
or through a prepared screen to a sheet of paper or other material.
Common types of matrices include: metal plates, usually copper or zinc,
or polymer plates for engraving or etching; stone, aluminum, or polymer for lithography; blocks of wood for woodcuts and wood engravings; and linoleum for linocuts. Screens made of silk or synthetic fabrics are used for the screenprinting process. Other types of matrix substrates and related processes are discussed below.
Multiple impressions printed from the same matrix form an edition.
Since the late 19th century, artists have generally signed individual
impressions from an edition and often number the impressions to form a limited edition; the matrix is then destroyed so that no more prints can be produced.
