This highly versatile print process has been a 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 class will demonstrate traditional graphic techniques of hand painted and cut film separations, registration systems and the use of digital film output, an essential component in the field of professional screen printing practice. Working with transparent and opaque color palettes will be introduced as well. Student pin ups and critiques will be an ongoing part of the class. Outside studio time is required to develop skill in the process. Level 2 students will present project proposals at the beginning of the semester to be researched, designed and executed during the semester. More advanced technical and conceptual issues will be explored using screen printing methods which will be discussed and critiqued with the group and with one on one meetings with the professor throughout the semester, culminating in a final body of cohesive work to be presented at the end of the semester. This course can be repeated for credit.
