VART 157 - Monoprint and Experimental Printmaking

CR: 3
This course will introduce students to the monoprint, the printmaking technique that comes closest to drawing and painting in its immediacy. Different monoprint techniques, both water and oil based, will be introduced and demonstrated in class. This hands-on class will introduce students to additive and reductive techniques and the trace monoprint, using both oil-based and non-toxic water based inks. We will also explore processes that foster experimentation and discovery. such as the collagraph, and gelliplate.

Safe use of toxic art materials is included. There will be a course materials fee for this class.
