Graphic-plastic expression: materials, image-making and project evidence

This independent subject chapter develops Materials, tools and techniques: properties, handling and care. The following examples explain concepts and explicit classroom models, rather than a current regional paper, official mark allocation or certified production procedure. Grammage (gsm) is weight, not quality: thin paper is more prone to cockling under a wash; even heavy cotton paper can buckle depending on sizing, moisture and mounting. Sizing (for example, gelatin or suitable synthetic agents) controls absorbency; unsized paper feathers ink and bleeds.
