This course will explore several ways by which to integrate digital techniques with printmaking by hand. Using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, students will incorporate digital methods to develop their imagery but ultimately will print their final work using traditional processes. Students will learn the basics of each technique before moving onto those using digital intervention. Processes will include using photo emulsion for screen printing, digitally cut vinyl as an acid resist for intaglio and laser-printed pronto plates for lithography.
