This beginning printmaking course introduces screen and lithography-printing techniques within an active, hands-on studio experience. With a keen eye towards craft, composition,concept and engagement, this course explores the unique and varied visual effects and pragmatic considerations of screenprinting and lithography printing. Screenprinting techniques will include hand-made, digital, and drawn stencils, as well as direct-to-screen and photo-processes. Lithography printing techniques will include drawing and printing directly from lithography stones, and the photographic capabilities of plate lithography. Image and mark making,color interaction, strategies of layering, and composition are discussed and developed in both techniques. Current and historical applications of lithography and screenprinting for artists and designers will be a focus during the course. A program of demonstrations, lectures,in-class projects, readings & discussions, visiting artists, and individual & group critiques will support student exploration.
