ART 317: Large-Scale Printmaking

This course explores the issue of scale in printmaking. This is a studio-based course, which is both conceptual and technical in scope. Reading, discussion, and collaboration with peers will be just as important as craftsmanship and work ethic. Students will experiment with materials and processes, including monoprinting and etching, along with drawing techniques. Of equal importance, students will develop concepts and images that are original, imaginative, and expressive. Along with studio work, there will be components of discussion, critique, and writing exercises so that students become more fluent in speaking about art and working within a theme.
