Description:

Screenprinting is a highly versatile print process and favorite of the contemporary artist for decades due to its flexibility and the ability to easily work with color as well as printing on a wide variety of surfaces. This comprehensive and rigorous studio class will design and produce a set of hand made screen printed posters, blending image and typography to communicate ideas, events or political causes. This studio will be a crash-course in illustrated poster design as well as a complete introduction to the screen printing process. Students will develop digital and screen printing skills, including both hand created film separations of colors as well as digital film output. The focus of this class is hands-on experience and studio time with numerous forays into the poster scene with examples shown and guests invited. Additional outside studio time will be required to complete the assigned poster projects. Students are encouraged to explore creative methods that meet individual aesthetic and conceptual needs. Open to beginning and advanced students from any major.
