A modular network is a geometric structure composed of repeated, interconnected figures or modules that together cover a surface. Modular structures are found in nature and architecture. To create a modular stamp network, a single module shape is drawn on paper and transferred to a rubber plate, where a gouge removes unwanted areas to leave a raised stamp which can then be inked and printed to replicate the module across a surface.
Modular network
- 2. What a modular network is? A modular network is a structure in which a series of equal or similar figures are related. This structure, generally geometric, is like a mesh, of triangular or rectangular shapes, which cover the entere surface of the work.
- 3. What a module is? We will call modules to the figures that are repeated and related thanks to that modular structure.
- 4. Here you can see some examples
- 12. We can find modular networks in the nature...
- 14. ...and in the architecture.
- 16. Stamps We will transfer the module to a rubber stamp. For this we need a gouge and a rubber plate.
- 17. Firstly we will draw the module on a parchment paper and we will pass it to a rubber plate.
- 18. We will remove with the gouge the surface that we do not want to appear on the paper.
- 19. With a roller we will cover the finished rubber stamp with paint and stamp it against the paper.
