Lithography is a special printmaking technique where images are drawn or painted onto the surface of stone, and then etched and printed to create prints with a wide range of drawn/painted marks. This course covers demonstrations and hands-on work in the techniques of lithographic printing from limestone and aluminum plates, primarily in black-and-white, although color possibilities will also be included. Many drawing/painting techniques and materials will be explored and careful attention will be given to the process of etching, proofing, correcting, and printing editions. Students are encouraged to explore creative methods that meet individual aesthetic and conceptual needs. Open to beginning and advanced students from any major.
