Weekly Classes — Summer 2008
Beginning Printmaking
Tuesday, 7pm to 9:30pm
Session S2 • Levels 1-5
Course code 1013
This studio course introduces basic printmaking processes and equipment, with equal emphasis on concept and technique. Students are introduced to a variety of print media and methods, specifically monotype and relief printing (linotypes), and various approaches to making and printing plates in each medium. The wonderfully facile methods of monotyping will augment drawing and painting skills; however, these are not necessary to take this course. Students develop an understanding of the medium and learn good studio habits; the safe and responsible handling of tools, materials and grounds; and the knowledge required for basic manipulation of the processes used in the production of a printed image. There is no prerequisite.
