ARTS1103: Introduction to Printmaking: Relief, Screen and Digital Processes

Students will be introduced to techniques of relief printing using oil-based inks, screen-printing using water-based inks, and digital printmaking. Relief projects (linoleum and woodcut) emphasize the exploration of mark-making, printing techniques, and color layering. Screen print and digital applications will explore layering, color, and image-making strategies. Students will learn digital strategies for creating images in screen printing, working from both photo and drawn sources. The course includes the historical context and recent innovations for each process in order to develop contemporary applications for each method. Students will develop meaningful content in conjunction with the acquisition of technical skills. Individual and group critiques will help students to address technical concerns and contextualize their work within the rich history of printmaking. Studio work outside of scheduled class time is expected.
