To encourage increased visual literacy and the capacity to evaluate and describe works of art, through regularly scheduled critiques and writing assignments. Class time will be divided between slide lectures, demonstrations, critiques and studio sessions. Due to the quantity of technical material to learn, there will be a substantial amount of demonstrations and lectures. Students will need to spend considerable time in the printmaking studio working outside of class.
Full attendance is mandatory.
In addition, students are to execute a minimum of eight editions during the term to pass the course. A set of six related cleanly printed monotypes will count as an edition. Exceptions may be made if there are several high quality artist proofs. Discuss print terminology and the supply list. Go to Salem on Friday for supplies.
