Equivalency Details

Students employ screenprinting processes using water-based inks. They explore a variety of techniques, including photo silkscreen, cut paper stencils, direct drawing techniques, color registration, and textile printing. Students also incorporate digital technology to better understand these techniques and develop their individual imagery.

This course is a continuation of the study of printmaking beyond the introductory level. The emphasis is on the continued development of personal imagery within the context of printmaking. (Repeatable up to 18 sh, no more than 6 sh in one semester.) This course is repeatable up to six (6) times. Students are expected to set higher goals and achieve a higher level of sophistication in successive levels of Studio. Specifically, students will develop their personal imagery, technical ability and increase their knowledge of relevant processes and techniques. They will also increasingly show familiarity with contemporary and historical [painting, printmaking, etc.], especially that which relates to their work. At the more advanced levels of Studio, students will increasingly be expected to pursue opportunities to exhibit their work through juried exhibitions and on-campus venues. A minimum of three (3) hours of work per week outside of class is required.
