Art Studio 268 - Topics in Printmaking: Beyond the Print Shop

Topics Course. Core studio materials are provided. Students are responsible for the purchase of additional supplies required for individual projects. May be repeated with a different topic: While collaborative and community-oriented, printmaking is usually tied to specific equipment and resources that can be difficult to access. This course emphasizes how printmaking as a process and way of thinking can both support a creative community and adapt to respond directly and personally to one’s current circumstances. We will use water-based methods such as stenciling, relief printing, texture rubbing, and basic book construction to explore our perception of time, variation, location, color, and transparency. These methods have the capacity to create work that is small and intimate, large and immersive, and/or continually in flux.
