ART 318: Digital Printmaking

Throughout history, humans have adopted and adapted technology as a means of creating art. As traditional printmaking continues to evolve, digital techniques are being used alongside and combined with hand processes. In this course, we will explore the use of the computer and digital printing along with traditional printing techniques as creative tools for making art. Demonstration of techniques and concepts will be achieved through hands-on work in the computer lab and art studio, demonstrations, presentation and discussion of examples, and class critiques. Students will make a regular commitment of time outside of class in order to create a portfolio of digital and printed artworks.
