ART 208 - Printmaking: Relief

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

An exploration of printing practices and concepts, this course explores the fundamentals of printmaking as techniques as well as conceptual processes - repetition, replication, mirroring, transferring, layering, pressure, orientation, reduction, reuse, opacity, transparency, chance, systems, distribution and collaboration. Focusing primarily on relief techniques including linocut, woodcut, monotype, stencil, stamping and collagraph, we explore the possibilities as well as push up against the constraints of each of these processes. We consider the making of multiples and sequences within inclusive contexts of image making, art making, communicating, messaging and viewing. Studying prints pulled from the Loeb’s collection is an underlying component of this course. Christina Tenaglia.
