Notes
This experimental course teaches how to create monotypes: a one-of-a-kind, painterly print. Students will study various ways to transfer images from diverse matrices to paper and other supports including cloth, wood, and glass. Monotypes will be produced both with and without the help of an etching press. Additive and subtractive techniques, masking, stenciling, block printing, overprinting, and chine colle will all be taught. Towards the end of the course, students will be expected to use the different techniques they have learned for the creation of complex, layered monotypes. Presentations, group critiques, and museum visits will supplement in-class exercises and outside projects.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will learn how to create experimental prints (using unexpected and surprising materials and techniques) in order to push beyond what is taught in conventional printmaking classes. By doing so, students will deepen their understanding of what is feasible and engaging in this “non-traditional” field of art
- Students will improve their observational and manual skills
- Students will learn about the history of printmaking and be able to discern the differences between the many techniques of experimental printmaking
- Students will gain an appreciation of the experimentation used in contemporary printmaking
- Students will better understand the historical and technical origins of current practices
- Local and Global Perspectives: You will enhance your intercultural understanding of languages, cultures and the histories of local societies, and the global issues to which these relate (CCI LO1)
- Aesthetic Inquiry and Creative Expression: You will engage with artistic or creative objects (eg visual art, theatrical works, film) in different media and from a range of cultural traditions (CCI LO2)
