Description
An investigation of the various techniques of printmaking, specifically monotype, dry point and intaglio techniques. The technique of bookmaking is introduced in relation to a developed series of images and as an art form with its own history and expressive potential. Projects and class discussions focus on how visual images convey meaning in works of art; how series of images react and respond to one another; and how the book itself as a container of meaning can be visually and conceptually linked to printed images in works of art. During upper-level studios 211, 311, 411 additional concepts and techniques will be added to the studio foundation and expectations. Accelerated weekend studio courses only serve 100 level studios.
