Course Description: Papermaking 1 and Papermaking 2
From the personal object of the book or printed image, to the grand scale of public installation, paper can be manipulated in space as both surface and substance of significance. The focus of papermaking courses will be on the versatility of paper in its formation and materiality, as well as to gain a basic understanding of the processes and history of paper making in all it's forms. Papermaking courses are open to beginning and advanced students from any discipline.
Class Description: Papermaking and the Print
This class will explore the versatility of paper making in it's applications as substrate for printed text and image, a building block for books and sculptural multiples, and as the art object itself. Using techniques such as watermarking, pulp painting, stencils, inclusions and pulp printing we will explore how the paper object can be used in image making and editions. Students will learn to properly use the Hollander Beater and other equipment, as well as how to beat fibers from hand or with common household appliances for appropriate application to each technique. We will work to identify and make paper from different plants around the Oakland campus as participation in the Oakland Campus Legacy Project. General western and asian processes and proper sheet forming will be addressed, as well as the use of pigments and dyes with a variety of fibers. Students will be encouraged to explore and experiment with multiple techniques to find their own artistic voice with the medium. Papermaking 2 students will work on individual projects of their own creation under tutelage of the instructor. Class visits and field trips will broaden our knowledge of techniques and possibilities beyond our wildest dreams.- Online course sections will be delivered with both asynchronous and synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus.
