ARTS 234Photo Based Printmaking

Catalog

In this studio course students are exposed to photo-based techniques including screenprinting and risograph printing, and the use of these skills to produce independent work within the context of contemporary art. This course will include the use of Photoshop and Illustrator in the production of stencils. Students will be introduced to skills and techniques, experiment with the medium, and think creatively and critically. Studio instruction may be augmented with field trips, slide lectures, readings, critiques, and discussion that help critically, currently, and historically situate printmaking as a visual arts practice. Group critiques and regular project advising sessions inform each student as they produce work.
