This is a 6-week course that introduces students to several printmaking techniques: monotype, drypoint, and relief printmaking. All materials are provided. No prior art or printmaking experience is necessary.
Weeks 1: MONOTYPES—We’ll explore additive and subtractive monotypes. Students will experiment with different techniques to create their own original prints
Weeks 2 & 3: DRYPOINT—An intaglio method of printmaking: the image is cut directly into Plexiglas, inked, and then printed, creating a print similar to an etching, with very expressive lines.
Weeks 4 & 5: RELIEF—We’ll cover the basics of relief printmaking using rubber and linoleum blocks to create original work in black and white or color.
Week 6: Students will work in one of the above mediums of their choosing, or can continue working on a project begun earlier.
