This class will be an introduction to the art of printmaking, which is the oldest form of graphic design and a way to make multiples— think of how rubber stamps work! Printmaking has been around for over a thousand years, originating in the East and migrating to the West as cultures traded artistic techniques as well as goods. In addition to basic printmaking skills such as ink use, block cutting, and print design, students will learn how to make Gelli prints (monotypes like painting), collographs (collage texture prints), relief prints (linoleum and rubber carvings) and other methods. Correct use of specialized printing equipment, tools, and supplies will also be taught. You will work on printmaking projects and sketchbook work daily to develop your own skills and creative style.
