TOPICS: ADVANCED PRINTMAKING in Fall 2023 (AR3091A)

Advanced Printmaking focuses primarily on traditional intaglio practices but monotype, collagraph, and carborundum printing techniques will also be taught. Students will learn off-press printing and the proper use of an etching press. Students will expand their visual vocabulary through the making of identical multiples using diverse materials as matrices and supports. Multi-plate color printing will be emphasized. A group lithographic project will be included if time permits. Although this is primarily a studio art course, the history of printmaking will also be taught. Students will be asked to visit print exhibitions and print collections in Parisian museums.

Please note that Intro to Printmaking is not a prerequisite for this course. The 3000-level Advanced Printmaking will have a greater number of projects than the 2000-leve coursel. Also, the works made for the higher-level course must be created at a larger scale than the works requested for the lower-level course.
