AVA 252 - Experimental Printmaking

Course Units: 1

In this course we explore techniques and concepts that augment traditional methods of printmaking. Students survey a variety of alternative printmaking methods and develop self-directed projects around each unit of study. We examine the potential of print to create unique pieces that crossover with concepts of drawing, painting, collage, photography, and sculpture. Some methods covered are monoprints, collagraphs, and cyanotypes. This course is for students who have previous printmaking experience and are interested in multimedia, non-traditional methods, and pushing the boundaries of works on paper.
