ART 170 - Introduction to Printmaking

Lower Division

An introduction to the medium of printmaking, this class explores the processes of monoprint, linoleum and other, non-traditional techniques. The course examines the use of tools, techniques, and machinery used in printmaking for their application to the students’ images and ideas. This project-based course highlights the relationship between creativity and communication in printing, most often using political or social justice themes. Through class presentations, students learn the communicative potential of images and thereby become aware of their own ability to provide creative critique of any issue they choose. Students will read and respond to assigned texts, chosen specifically to aid in the process of critique and a more thorough comprehension of this form and media.
