ARTS 266 Low Tech Printmaking (Not offered 2006-2007; to be offered 2007-2008)

This course will cover a variety of easy techniques to make multiple images, including xeroxing, linoleum-cuts, stenciling, cardboard plates, rubber stamping, and monotyping. Students will be encouraged to hand-color or add to many of the prints, incorporating drawing, painting, photography, bookmaking and collage. With less emphasis on complicated techniques, the focus of the course will be more upon form and content, investigating how the reproduction and serial nature of printmaking has an impact upon artmaking. There will be a minimum of five assignments during the semester and students are expected to work substantial hours outside of class.
Evaluation will be based on the terms of the quality of the finished work and upon attendance in class and participation in critiques. Lab fee.
Prerequisites: ArtS 100. Enrollment limit: 12.
