Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Open to any interested in learning about print media, ‘Relief Printmaking’ is an introduction to fine art prints with studio driven practice focused on relief and monotype printmaking. Artists use printmaking as an interdisciplinary medium within the idea of creating multiple images. This course will introduce students to a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques used in today’s printmaking world and give students a vehicle to express and communicate their ideas visually. Students will learn to practice safe, responsible use of equipment, media, and studio space; They will explore and develop personal concepts of expression; and adapt learned skills while respectfully considering alternative viewpoints in class discussion and critique.
