Description
This course is designed to introduce students to a range of intaglio techniques while also assisting students in developing their own visual imagery through the language of printmaking. Throughout the course, students will practice dry point, etching, aquatint, soft-ground, and sugar-lift techniques. Students will explore the history of printmaking media, the evolution of subject matter and technique, and the relationship of graphic arts to the methods of mechanical reproduction. Course objectives will include becoming familiar with using a print shop, printing an edition, talking critically about one’s work, and developing a process of visual storytelling. The course will be supplemented with technical demonstrations, critiques, field trips, and keynote presentations.
