Monotype is an exciting print technique, which merges drawing, painting and printmaking to create rich and expressive imagery. By working with either oil or water-based inks on a slick surface, images are transferred to paper under pressure in singular or multiple drops producing unique results unattainable in other processes. This versatile process is introduced through a series of demonstrations and studio practice. Along with work on specific projects, participation in critiques, and in-studio work, students will use the techniques covered to develop series of prints as a body of work. Students are encouraged to explore creative methods that meet individual aesthetic and conceptual needs. They will also be expected to develop an increasingly complex body of work through their personal vocabulary with the media. Open to students from any major who have taken Monotype 1 and who want dedicated time and support to focus on their practice at an advanced level.
