ARTS 123 Introduction to Printmaking
Designed for non-visual art majors, this course is an introduction to the theories, practices, and techniques of printmaking, with an emphasis on foundational printmaking concepts. Working with relief and monotype methods, students will learn the use of various tools and materials especially made for printmaking application and processes. The emphasis is on creating works of art through traditional and non-traditional printmaking conventions, visual organization, composition, and content. This course also will teach the importance of working in a collaborative environment shared in the printmaking workshop and studio. The working space is set up in a way that students will work with multiple and unique works of art characteristic of printmaking processes and printing techniques. Students will explore the philosophical and ethical issues that art making presents, and its effects on the fine arts. Demonstrations, lectures, and critiques support studio assignments and instruction in traditional and contemporary formats.
