VARTS 241 - Printmaking: Relief
Prerequisites: VARTS 101
Fulfills a course requirement in the Visual Arts: Painting/ Drawing/ Printmaking Core Concentration
Relief printmaking, in which the high parts of a plate are inked to create an image, is the oldest method of printing stretching back to the Chinese invention of paper. This course introduces students to the history and techniques of relief printmaking with the aim of producing prints primarily independent of a press. Western and Japanese woodcut, reduction, and multiple-plate color printing as well as pochoir, chine collé and monotype printing will be demonstrated. As the class evolves, the student will take greater care in using this medium as a means of expression through a final series or edition and completion of a portfolio of work.
