Myths into Monotype
Course overview
Enikő Eged is a Hungarian artist whose drawings are steeped in atmosphere, magic, and folktales. Drawing from her work and the myth of the Táltos Horse, this four-week course invites children to explore expressive drawing, monotype, and chine-collé.
Students will experiment with charcoal, stencil, tissue-paper collage, and pulling prints from aluminium plates. Each week encourages playful mark-making, storytelling, and layering of colour and texture, culminating in a series of evocative prints that weave together myth and experimental printmaking.
Week one — Hungarian Myths into Expressive Drawings
Technique: Observational charcoal drawing from dramatically lit horse figurines.
Activity: Students are introduced to Enikő Eged’s work and hear the myth of the Táltos Horse. Using figurines, they explore atmosphere through focussing on shadow, light and gesture through loose charcoal drawings.
Focus: Building confidence in expressive mark-making and learning to translate myth into visual form.
Outcome: A series of dynamic charcoal sketches forming the foundation for later printmaking.
Week two — Chine-collé & Mark-making through Monotypes
Technique: Monotype printing with stencils and tissue-paper chine-collé.
Activity: Children cut a stencil of their Táltos Horse, prepare symbolic motifs in tissue paper (wings, hooves, manes), and layer them onto inked-up aluminium plates. They add texture and detail with mark-making tools before pulling their prints.
Focus: Experimentation with layering, texture, and colour while learning how collage and printmaking can combine.
Outcome: Bold and colourful monotype horse prints infused with symbolic chine-collé elements.
Week three — Stencils & Storytelling
Technique: Chine-collé transfer onto damp cotton paper.
Activity: Students cut around their previous prints, glue them with wheat paste, and transfer them onto cotton based paper using the press. The session closes with a group sharing of work.
Focus: Bringing together drawing, collage, and printmaking into a final layered piece, while reflecting on process.
Outcome: Each child leaves with a collection of finished monotype chine-collé horse prints and a deeper appreciation of myth-inspired visual storytelling.
