ART 312: Printmaking: Intaglio

This course introduces students to the aesthetic and technical parameters of etching as a major printmaking medium in the fine arts. Students will learn how to prepare an etching plate, develop an image, revise an existing image, and print from a plate. Equal consideration will be given to both artistic concepts and technical mastery. A visit to a museum to view the collections of historic and contemporary prints will be an important feature of this class.
