OUR EXPERIENCE




We were during several days doing different experiences:


  • We visited and took pictures of San Clemente's main monuments. 
  • With the computer and the program GIMP we obtained a profile out of those pictures (like a painting). 
  • Later we did an engraving workshop, taking the paintings, we engraved the profiles in linoleum.
  • And we printed the linoleum on paper with ink in a press.
If each school in Europe would do the same experience, it would be cheap and easy to get profiles in relief for our monuments.

It was very nice for us and it can be useful for blind people. 

First of all, we selected and took pictures in San Clemente's monuments:









After that, we converted the photos into negative drawings with GIMP:









Mercedes de la Pola, from the Fundación Antonio Pérez, taught us how to engrave in linoleum and later to print it. The workshop was really interesting and useful, Mercedes de la Pola is a very didactic person, her explanations were clear and practical.
