YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE
Young people are the art history of tomorrow.
MISSION & ETHOS
Young London Print Prize is a competition driven by the idea that all young people are
artists in their own right. Our goal is to contribute directly to the lives, minds and creativity
of young people, first in Woolwich and Thamesmead, and then across the whole of
London. We support pupils and teachers to learn about printmaking and submit original
art to be judged by young adults and exhibited at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair —
one of the UK’s biggest contemporary art fairs.
Equality and inclusivity are central to the way we think and work. The prize is accessible to
pupils from all backgrounds, as well as SEND pupils, and pupils with additional needs.
There are no costs for schools or students to enter the prize.
Our core mission is to bridge the gap between compulsory education and the
contemporary art world by championing young people to engage in their own artistic and
curatorial practices. The two fundamental principles behind YLPP are first, that all young
people are artists in their own right, and second, young people are the art history of
tomorrow.
At YLPP we believe that all young people are artists in their own right and have the
capacity for greatness. We believe that young people create work that can be just as
powerful as the work of adult artists.
YLPP aims to introduce young people to the notion of an independent artistic practice:
the long-term personal production of art and its relationship to processes, ideas and
influences. Through this, we aim to inspire young people to see themselves as artists,
developing confidence, independence and creative expression, and, perhaps, the next
generation of art world superstars!
YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 4
We think that art history needs to be re-written from the grassroots. As it stands, the mainstream story of art and the contemporary art world does not reflect the breadth of race, religion, class, gender and educational needs, of London’s schoolchildren. Over the past decade, there has been a palpable shift in the art world to readdress this imbalance. Art institutions have been a leading force in this re-writing of art history. Organisations such as Tate, Barbican and Baltic, have developed ambitious education programmes and radical shifts in curatorial perspectives to include a far greater breadth of voices. The 2019 Lee Krasner retrospective at the Barbican, for example, has consciously re- written the male-dominated history of Abstract Expressionism; the Tate Modern’s 2017 exhibition Soul of A Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, shines an essential spotlight on the civil rights movement and contemporary race relations; while Steve McQueen’s 2019 project, Year 3, commissioned by Tate, placed photographs of London’s schoolchildren and teaching staff as billboard posters across the tube, as well as being exhibited in the main hall of Tate Britain. While the art world is slowly diversifying, this change has to be embraced at every level in order to make meaningful change and bridge the gap between the incredible work that teachers do on a daily basis and the contemporary art world. Every art institution, organisation and event should engage their local community at a grass-roots level — and that’s exactly what the Young London Print Prize delivers. This project is run by Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and Boldface, with fantastic support from Peabody, Anthesis and Palatine, and delivered in partnership with ACAVA and Creative Schools.

YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021
CLIMATE ART | OVERVIEW
Climate Art
As the UK prepares to host COP26, the United Nations climate change conference, Young
London Print Prize 2021 explores the theme of Climate Art: an umbrella term that refers
to art dealing with a broad spectrum of issues associated with environmentalism,
sustainability and climate change. Through the prize we hope to give some foundational
insight on the topic, inspire conversation in schools, and — most importantly — platform
the voices of young people. It is their futures affected by the environmental failures of
humankind, and also their kindness, strength and ambition that offers a future of positive
change and hope.
Overview
Young London Print Prize 2021 is open to all Years 5 & 6 pupils from participating London
schools. In October, we will run in-school workshops to get teachers and pupils started on
their entry. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize, plus a Curators Pick from each participating school will
all be selected by a panel of Young Judges made up of Year 12 pupils from local Sixth
Forms and colleges. Along with the prizewinners, all of the entries will be complied into a
virtual book which will be published on Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair website.
What will the judges will be looking for?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and ultimately, the judging of any artwork is always
subjective. Nonetheless, the Young Judges will consider certain aspects within each work
of art: originality, creativity, ideas, technique, colour palette and composition.
All entries will be judged anonymously.

WOOLWICH CONTEMPORARY PRINT FAIR
Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair is the largest event of its kind in the world. It creates a
welcoming interactive space for people to enjoy and engage with the best of
contemporary print, supporting independent artists alongside specialist galleries, famous
names, and London’s latest art prize for young people. This unique hybrid model provides
opportunities for emerging and unrepresented artists to be seen by leading gallerists and
collectors; and for exhibiting galleries to be part of a rapidly growing platform with a
pioneering approach to print. An international open call and interactive programme
produces a rich mix of work and a visitor experience that attracts thousands of people to
engage in person and tens of thousands more online around the globe.
This is the antithesis of a traditional art fair: an accessible, aspirational, hands-on platform
at the cutting edge of art curation that speaks to people of all ages and
backgrounds. Our ambition is to challenge preconceptions of print, provide exhibition
and sales opportunities for some of the world’s best living artists, and help democratise
fine art by inspiring the next generation of printmakers.
In 2021, the Print Fair will be live from Thursday 11 - Sunday 14 November in the new
creative quarter on the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich with an online edition running from 11 -
28 November. For more information: woolwichprintfair.com
VISITING THE FAIR
Alongside YLPP, which takes place prior to the fair, workshops for school groups are
available at the live event. All workshops are free for schools and pupils, funded by
Peabody, Anthesis and Palatine Private Equity. Visiting the Fair and experiencing the
artwork displayed is an opportunity for teachers and pupils to access and learn more
about the different forms of printmaking.
Please contact matt@woolwichprintfair.com to arrange a suitable time for a group visit
or to request a Schools Risk Assessment. Designated workshop facilitators for the fair all
have recent DBS checks. During Covid-19 all workshops will have comprehensive
measures in place to ensure pupils and staff are safe and hygienic. All workshops will be
delivered inline with government guidelines for Covid-19 safety.

YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 11AN INTRODUCTION TO PRINTMAKING
A BRIEF HISTORY OF PRINT
FROM THE BIRTH OF PRINT, TO THE BIRTH OF THE INTERNET
Printmaking as we know it today has a long history of influences
from all over the world that have developed simultaneously, and
influenced each other in many different ways. Some of the earliest
documented forms of printmaking were developed in China and
Japan including techniques such as Suminagashi, from 12th
century Japan, which printed colourful patterns onto paper using
ink and water.
Ancient example of Suminagashi, Unknown artist, approx.12th
century.
Nowadays, living in the UK, and most parts of the urbanised
world, you will see more images in a day than the average
medieval European would see in their life. This visual saturation
has its genesis in the birth of printmaking technology. Prior to the
fifteenth century, images were sparse and limited to the walls of
the wealthy. The turn of the fifteenth century saw the advent of
print: these new technologies made the reproduction of a single
YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 12image thousands of times feasible. From a single matrix of carved wood or metal, an image could be infinitely reproduced and dispersed across Europe and the world. When this invention was followed in the mid-fifteenth century by the introduction of movable type, the first printed books could be produced. This meant that the possibilities for the spread of knowledge and ideas expanded in an unprecedented manner. Woodcuts, engravings, and etchings also publicised the inventions of painters and spread knowledge of new styles. While many of the techniques necessary to produce prints were known before the fifteenth century, it was the widespread availability of paper that made printmaking feasible. The first paper mills in Germany and Italy had opened by the 1390s, around the same time that the first woodcuts were produced. Prints provided a means of mass- production, planting the seed of social mobility within European society and shaping the modern world we inhabit. In many ways, the birth of printmaking is very similar to the birth of the internet: a revolution in the way that information can be disseminated, making it readily accessible to the majority of society.

Page 14: Francisco de Goya, The Sleep of Reason, Produces Nightmares, Spain, 1799. Etching, aquatint, drypoint, and burin on paper, 29.5x21 cm. Experimentation with printmaking had a decisive impact on the history of art. The Renaissance revival of classical antiquity was fuelled by prints that spread knowledge of ancient Roman buildings and sculpture throughout Europe. Prints not only provided a new outlet for artists to explore their own interests, whether in classical antiquity, tales of magic and witchcraft, landscape, everyday life, or fantastic visions; they also allowed the newly evolved middle classes to own works of art themselves. This granted cultural gravity outside of the elite sphere and began the development of art markets throughout the Enlightenment. From Holbein’s biting satire, to Rembrandt’s harrowing portraits of Europe’s destitute, prints enabled the masses of Europe to engage critically with art. YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 14
Katsushika Hokusai, The Great Wave, Japan, c.1830-32. Polychrome woodblock print on paper, 25.7x37.9 cm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Japanese printing techniques continued to have an important impact on the history of art. In the 19th century, a woodblock printing technique called Ukiyo-e, had such a huge influence on European artists — in particular the Impressionist painters — that Europeans made a special name for the phenomenon of Japanese influence in European art: Japonisme. The synthesis of art and cultural dichotomies brought about by the print continued to develop and evolve as European global wealth expanded up until the modern day. We hope that, with this Teachers Pack, teachers and pupils will be able to explore, experiment and enjoy the culmination of the historic genre of printmaking. YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 15
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRINTMAKING IN ART WHAT IS A PRINT? A print is the impression of an object or an image left on a surface. There are lots of different types of printmaking. Below are short explanations of some of the most common forms: INTAGLIO PRINTING Intaglio printing is when the image that is being printed is scratched, carved or engraved into a surface. Ink is then placed into the grooves that make up the design, and is then printed onto a second surface, usually paper. YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 16
RELIEF PRINTING Relief printing is the opposite of intaglio printing: the areas around the image — not the image itself — are cut away, leaving the image on a block. The raised areas are then inked and transferred onto a second surface, usually paper. MONOPRINTING In ancient Greek, ‘mono’ means ‘one’. So monoprinting literally means a print that can only be done once. This is usually because it is done by hand, using different shapes of metal, stone, woodblock or cardboard dipped in ink or paint and placed directly onto a surface by the artist. YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 17
DIGITAL PRINTING Digital printing is just an umbrella name for all types of printing that are generated via a computer. SCREEN PRINTING Ink is pushed through a mesh to print a particular design on a surface, for example a sheet of paper, a t-shirt, or a bag. Below the mesh is a cutout of the design that the ink cannot get through. Because of this, the liquid only transfers to the areas where the screen permits, which creates the image. Only one colour can be applied at a time, so a different screens must be made for each colour YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 18
LITHOGRAPHY Lithography is a printing process based on the fact that grease and water don’t mix. Grease is applied to certain sections of the design which makes them water-resistant. Then the surface is placed into a printing press, which squashes the printing design against a second surface, usually paper. Because the ink is repelled by the water- resistant sections of the design, it is only printed onto leftover sections, which creates the printed image. Lots of exciting materials and acids are used in Lithography, which, sadly we can’t always use at home or in school. YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 19
LOOKING AT ART: ABSTRACT / REPRESENTATION
Art is difficult to define — that’s the beauty of it! While there are movements, trends, and
time periods which have shared styles, art continuously morphs and changes. A great tool
for identifying different types of art, while maintaining a non-dogmatic approach to how
we label it, is an Abstract / Representation scale.
By thinking of abstraction and representation as points on a fluid spectrum, rather a
specific concrete set of characteristics, it gives young people a framework to understand
different types of art — making the undefinable nature of art, a little bit easier to name:
Abstraction Representation
Pure shapes and Art that looks like
colours where you something you have
cannot see anything seen before: a chair, a
you might recognise. rainforest, a person, a
highway, or a piece of
fruit. The purest
visual form of
representation would
be a photograph of
something you
recognise.
YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 20Exercise:
Look at the 3 images below and place them where you think they
should go on the scale:

YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 38PUSHING IT FURTHER: EXPERIMENTATION
THINGS YOU CAN TRY:
• Printing onto different types of paper. For example: newspaper,
magazine pages, graph paper.
• Do one printing technique, let it dry, then do another one on
the top.
• Sometimes less is more, try doing one single shape in the
middle of the page.
• A print doesn’t have to be a square or a rectangle, try cutting a
different shape from the paper.
YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 39READY-TO-GO PROJECTS RELIEF PRINTING with JAVE YOSHIMOTO TECHNIQUE: POLYSTYRENE PRINTING Jave Yoshimoto is inspired by the places he travels to, incorporating recognisable digital emblems like location pins into vast natural landscapes of modern disasters. Yoshimoto is recognised for fusing traditional Japanese print with detailed gouache paintings. The linear style of Yoshimoto’s work is often seen in the traditional Japanese craft of woodblock printing with techniques like Ukiyo- e. Visually there is a clear link between Yoshimoto’s style and the iconic work The Great Wave (1831) by Hokusai. Use repetitive lines to create a print that represents how you see the relationship between nature and the digital world. YOUNG LONDON PRINT PRIZE 2021 40
