In this hands-on printmaking course, students will learn to produce screenprinting using multiple techniques. The popular and versatile process has a rich history and tradition in political and music-related images and messages. Assignment work will be thematically related to this context.
Students with previous screen-printing experience may utilize this course to create an advanced portfolio of work with a set quantity of editions or design outcomes. Beginning students will take advantage of learning the process step-by-step with the photo-emulsion process to multi-color registration.
As a collaborative class, students will share their work, give and receive feedback, and engage in regular process-based reviews and an end-of-quarter critique to expand their critical observational skills and visual literacy.
This hands-on course provides students with in-person instruction, demonstrations, hand-outs, and supplemental video tutorials to support students with various learning modalities. Students should expect to invest 6-8 hours to complete all projects during studio lab times outside of class sessions.
Beginning students are welcome. Previous printmaking or introductory art experience is beneficial and encouraged.
