Printmaking
Printmaking
In Printmaking, students extend their drawing and painting skills through the immediate and technical processes of printmaking. Lithography, intaglio, and relief printing are among the printmaking processes offered and students produce an edition of prints and print variations. Unique printmaking procedures such as monoprinting techniques and other variant forms of producing multiples are explored. Students also learn how to incorporate and integrate digital processes such as Photoshop with traditional techniques. Students practice safe procedures in operating the printing press and using tools. Grade levels are mixed and critiques occur throughout the course. Students will develop a body of prints for their portfolios.
