The Introduction to Printmaking course offers students an
opportunity to practice and experiment with a variety of art
processes within the area of Printmaking. All projects are geared
towards self expression and creative problem solving, pushing the
conventional methodology of the art medium into a fresh dialogue,
by combining current cultural interests and ideologies with more
traditional printmaking techniques. The course is structured around
demonstrations and projects, in-class as well as out-of class
studio work and preparation, class critiques and assigned readings.
The success of this course will depend greatly upon attendance and
absorption of demonstrations, a commitment to studio work both
during and outside of class, and careful maintenance of the
printmaking facility by all studio users.
