Print Culture 101 is an introductory course about the vast medium of printmaking: its techniques, its traditions, and its possibilities. Throughout the semester, students will learn how to use each area of the printshop, and the fundamentals of relief, recessed, planographic, stencil, and photographic processes of printmaking. Additionally, students will gain some elemental skills in working with paper, ink, and adhesives. These skills will also equip students with useful knowledge to experiment with unconventional materials. |
