ART 295 - Paper Protests: Printmaking as Activism 0.5 unit(s) Throughout history, artists have protested war and injustice, critiqued the privileged and powerful, and struggled for peace and progress. Many have turned to printmaking as a reproducible and cost-effective means of delivering social messages to the broadest audience possible. Spanning the 18th century to the present, this course considers printmaking as a form of activism, drawing on the collection of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center. We consider how artists such as William Hogarth, Francisco Goya, Käthe Kollwitz, Elizabeth Catlett, and the Guerrilla Girls have used printmaking as a medium to protest and provoke, to encourage empathy and action, and to promote positive social change.
