This class investigates the possibilities of lithographic printmaking. Students are introduced to the materials and processes required to produce lithographic prints. Emphasis will be on stone lithography, but the course will also address the use of aluminum plates. Students will be expected to produce original works of art using this process. This course can be used to satisfy the requirements for print-making concentration. (Repeatable up to 30 sh, no more than 6 sh in one semester.) This course is repeatable up to ten (10) 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.
