Course Learning Goals
Students will:
- develop advanced-level technical skills in printmaking processes as they produce a sustained body of consistent work;
- analyze historical prints and current trends in printmaking;
- develop their creative, expressive, and aesthetic skills through the production of prints;
- analyze projects through critiques, oral presentations, and discussions.
-
Planned Sequence of Topics and/or Learning Activities
Students examine historical prints and current trends in printmaking and use this process to propose their own concept of theme to the instructor at the beginning of the semester with attention to media and style. They then apply these ideas to the creation of a self-directed body of work. Students may choose from a variety of advanced-level printmaking processes (e.g., monoprinting, intaglio, relief printing, screen printing, photopolymer, and/or lithographic processes). Safe shop practices are demonstrated. -
Assessment Methods for Course Learning Goals
Student assessment is based on the successful completion of their proposed body of work commensurate with advanced-level skills, the presentation of projects, critiques, and the demonstration of safety practices in the printmaking studio. Quizzes/tests may also be used at the discretion of the instructor. -
