ART 202: Introduction to Printmaking

This is a studio-based course focusing on the collagraph as a process for creating art image. Craftsmanship, visual concern, selfexpression, and concept will be emphasized during image development and studio work. Through presentation, discussion, and critiques, students will become more articulate in communicating their ideas and speaking about art. This course is designed to give students an introduction to printmaking along with indepth experimentation in creating single and multiple-colored collagraph prints. Creative exploration of ideas and content will be encouraged. Viewing prints will be an important component to this course; this will involve a trip to an art museum or gallery.
