Printmaking: Screen Printing
In this introductory course, students will gain hands-on experience and technical skills by creating a body of print editions. Students will be exposed to the history of serigraphy (screen-printing) as well as current contemporary art applications through presentations, lectures, and discussion. Assignments will focus on technical aspects of the process learning a variety of techniques including rubylith, drawing fluid with screen filler, and photo-emulsion. In addition to the print work, the student will be responsible for completing readings, a midterm paper, concept drawings and lab notes. Students will present and participate in regular group critique to expand their critical observational skills and visual literacy.
