There are numerous approaches in printmaking that develop from scanned images and from a seamless incorporation of found and appropriated imagery and text. Over the past ten years, there have been significant technical improvements in photo-based print processes as a result of digital applications. This course will explore a range of approaches with photo/scanned imagery. We will begin with the lowly photocopy and explore gum printing in black-and-white and color, and then expand into photo etching with photo-polymer emulsion. Time permitting, we will introduce the use of photo-polymer (pronto) plate lithography. No experience is necessary, although a familiarity with Adobe Photoshop is helpful.
 
Lithography: The Progressive Proof / PRT 4011 1

Printmaking, as a process, allows an artist the opportunity to explore an image in depth through multiple reworkings. The artist can work and then rework an image almost indefinitely, all while keeping the history of past impressions. This class will focus on the concept of the progressive proof, allowing you to develop an image or concept over the semester and to really examine all the variations possible. We will focus on lithography, in editions and as singular monoprints. All levels are welcome.
 
Monoprinting / PRT 4021 1
Rhoda Rosenberg
R 6:30PM - 9:45PM Building A A104
09/09/2008 - 12/11/2008
PRT 4021 C1: 2.00 Credits

PRT 4021 N1: 0.00 Credits

A monoprint is an individual, one-of-a-kind print that can be made from a variety of traditional plates (matrices) such as metal, wood, cardboard, plexiglass, or other nontraditional surfaces that are found or manipulated. This course is designed to teach you the basics in mixing inks, handwiping and rolling techniques, and overprinting in multiple colors and plates. The making and printing of carborundum, plates, gum transfers, and chine collé also will be taught. This course provides an opportunity for students to develop an image through a related series of unique prints, and perhaps putting them into a portfolio or book. Open to all levels, from beginners to those who wish to investigate new techniques.
 
Screenprinting: The Whole Story / PRT 4062 1
Michael Hecht
M 6:30PM - 9:45PM Building A A203
9/8/2008 - 12/15/2008
PRT 4062 C1: 2.00 Credits
$895
PRT 4062 N1: 0.00 Credits

This course enables students to explore some of the most current and innovative technology within the world of printmaking and screenprinting. Color separations, large-format printmaking, and the use of computer applications in the screenprinting process will form the heart of the course, which is devoted to exploring the breadth of screenprinting opportunities. We also will examine traditional screenprinting techniques in order to provide students with an understanding of the full spectrum of screenprinting approaches. No printmaking or computer experience is required.
