ART 209 - Printmaking: Intaglio

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)

This course is designed to explore the fundamentals of printmaking focusing primarily on Intaglio techniques including collagraph, drypoint, etching, and embossing. While drawing and mark making are at the core of these printmaking techniques, pushing up against the constraints of each process is encouraged. We will explore various monotype techniques both on their own and as layers for multi plate printing. We will play with the making of multiples and sequences and consider how they operate in a broader view of image making, art making, communicating, conceptual thinking and viewing. Repetition, replicability, mirroring, transferring and layering will be investigated as printmaking techniques as well as concepts within the making of an image. Christina Tenaglia.

Prerequisite(s): ART 102, and permission of the instructor.
