This course is designed for students with some technical experience in print media and independent work habits who wish to continue the development of their Print Media studio skills and concepts in the context of contemporary directions in art. Students are expected to continue working with and define a self-directed project in printmaking techniques that they already know. These projects may include painting and print combinations, book arts, digital media, textile, print as public communication, 3D, installation and limited edition prints. Emphasis is placed on the critical discussion of the students work, project development and exploration of contemporary ideas in print media form through class critique, student research and tutorial discussion.
This is a hybrid class, which means there will be a combination of remote and in-person activities, keeping in mind the ongoing pandemic and the potential that rules and restrictions may shift during the course of the term. You all have access to the printshop, and there will be an in-person studio orientation scheduled on the second week of term (September 16). While it is not required that you use the printshop in this class, you will need to attend this orientation if you are planning to do so. More information on this orientation will be forthcoming on the first day of class.
This course will combine group meetings for the whole class, for presentations and discussions; individual meetings or tutorials with me and the course TA to talk abut your specific projects; a mixture of critique formats; as well as some in-person demos / workshops that will be available by sign-up.
