Description:
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 drawn, painted and cut film separations, the use of digital film output, as well as how to use photographic and digital imagery. Careful attention will be given to registration systems and the editioning of prints. Working with transparent and opaque color palettes will also be introduced. 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 Screen Printing 1 and who want dedicated time and support to focus on their practice at an advanced level.
