Mixed Media Printmaking I (ART-307)
From PhillipsWiki
Contents |
Course Description
Students develop personal imagery while learning several types of printmaking, including monoprint, linoleum and woodcut, drypoint, and collography. Images are developed by drawing, painting, collaging, or scratching into Plexiglas, or by cutting into linoleum or wood. These surfaces are inked and transferred to paper by hand or by means of a printing press. Often several impressions will be taken from one printing plate and combined with other images or printed layers. Emphasis is on gaining technical, conceptual, and formal skills while developing a student’s ideas through the use of various types of printing and their combinations. Critiques, slide talks, and visits to the Addison Gallery contribute to student understanding of the concepts and processes behind printmaking. Evening labs provide students with additional time to explore and develop ideas and skills. Prerequisite: for three- and four-year students, the diploma requirement in art; for one- and two-year students, Art 250.
