As a general practice in the book, the name of the owner and the date are written on the first page or on the cover. “ (Kahramankaptan, 1997, p.67) The ex-libris both represents the belonging of the book, to whom or to which institution it belongs, as well as the promotion of the book it is in and the person made in its name. In addition to these, it is also practiced on a freelance basis today. Especially today, ex-libris is made with modern and new techniques. One of these techniques is the “C5” code and the aquatinta technique. In this study, sample works from ex-libris made using the aquatinta technique will be discussed and the relationship of intonation in painting with the aquatinta technique will be evaluated.","PeriodicalId":417168,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Exlibris","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123064320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These small scale works, which have gone through many changes/transformations both in the meaning and technical aspect as of BC. 1400’s until today, have made quite a name in recent years and attract even the attention of non-field people with international contest and collecting field. In this context, a workshop of the International Engravist Istanbul Gravure Workshops Event which was performed in Yildiz Technical University in 2017, was allocated to Prof. Hasip Pektas and his Ex-libris works. General theme of this workshop, which has the characteristics to be the first in its field, is based on “Istanbul Engravings”. In the Ex-libris workshop performed in Yildiz Technical University Art and Design Faculty Engravist Atelier, the participants applied their designs with the linoleum printing technique. As a result of the event, all the works arising as a result of engravist events which opened their doors to students and young academicians whether or not knowing how to print from all over Turkey and start with the slogan “Gravure 40 Days 40 Nights”, were brought together with audiences through a mixed exhibition. As one of the participants of this workshop which took place in 2017, I had an interactive training week covering the application dimension of the technique as well as information on the historical development and use of Ex-libris art. In this context; this work has its basic purpose of documenting the workshop process and sharing its achievements. The study is quite meaningful in terms of the increase of interest in Ex-libris in our country and the reflection of cultural values on artistic practices.","PeriodicalId":417168,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Exlibris","volume":"23 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126988974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
