An introductory course in Printmaking. We will explore a variety of techniques, including Relief, Intaglio, Screen, Mono-Printing & more experimental methods.
We will work together in class on major projects. Each will focus on a new medium/technique and a design challenge for you to apply the skills learned through demonstrations and practice activities.
Independent Projects:
You all have great ideas. This is your opportunity to explore what interests you. If you finish your work for me early, open up one of our programs and play. If you make something great share it with the group and inspire someone else. If it's not working, change it or just try something different. There won't be many times in your life that you have all of these materials along with the time and freedom to do just about anything you want.
Reflection Essays
While most students don't think about writing in art, it truly is an important part of your art education. For each project, you will reflect on your work, the creative process and the work of your classmates.
