Etching painting .....

Answer 2

The oldest form of printing was probably Woodblock Printing, and can be traced back to 200 BCE. The process most likely originated in East Asia and China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper. Woodblock printing is now used as a form of art, since most homes have an easier form of printing. The Ancient Peoples would carve their message or drawing into a piece of wood, most likely softer woods for easier carving. Imagine this design as a stamp. They would then dip the carved side of the wood into ink or an ink like substance and press it on the desired surface. This was how most ancient books and scrolls were made. Then of corse, there were hand-written documents, but the Woodblocking process was by far the easiest.
