Printmaking and monoprint is part of the practices that well established in fine art with different application techniques. Printmaking is an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface. On the other side, a monoprint is a unique creative process because of the single impression of an image made from a reprint able block. Relatively than printing various copies of a single image, only one impression is produced, either by painting or creation a collage on the block. To get a clear division between these two application techniques, this article provides a clear explanation based on printmaking and monoprint experts. An extensive literature review is conducted as the research methodology based on current and prior studies relating to printmaking and monoprint that require additional development and details. This article significantly contributes to the knowledge on the overview of the revolution in printmaking globally, subsequently focusing on monoprint application technique in Malaysia context. As a result, this research has critically reviewed on acceptable instructional approach, learning, historical background, intellectual development, knowledge, and distinguish between printmaking and monoprint. This study recommends a further study in other technique and art disciplines such as characterization and classification in art and design to enhance the art education globally, especially in Malaysia.
