ARTD 342 - Experimental Printmaking


3 Credit(s)

This course surveys a range of low-tech printmaking processes with the aim of broadening the student’s range of mark-making skills and experimenting with new visual effects with which to create engaging images. The course is fast-paced, giving the students exposure to methods such as monotype, relief, drypoint, collagraph, digital printing, and silkscreen. Rather than emphasizing disciplined editioning, assignments will utilize printmaking methods for producing multiples that explore variations in color, compositional emphasis and tonal adjustment. Simple hand-made books will be introduced.
