Splendor in Chiya Rose Amano I am currently in the second year of the MMDP Graphic Arts program. This quarter I’m enrolled in printmaking class and the piece, Splendor in Chiya, is an additive monoprint. This style of printing is only one print so planning is well thought out. Starting off with a monoprint, the center flora, and introducing other layers of print impressions with textures of blending elements creates a reflective landscape—a movement of patterns, like a river.
