Monotypes can be produced with or without the use of a press, although in this course emphasis will be on producing monotypes using an etching press. This course is designed both as an introduction to monotype for people with no prior acquaintance with monotype or other printmaking forms, and also as an intermediate and advanced class for more experienced artists who would like to continue their development of the medium. Because monotype is a specialized medium, some experience with drawing, painting, design, and color will be helpful. For beginning students, the course will cover basic monotype processes and techniques by means of instructor demonstrations, and group and individual instruction. Emphasis will be on students working at their own pace producing and printing a number of finished monotypes, with individual help from the instructor.
More advanced students can work on their own projects with help from the instructor as needed.
