ARTS1104

This course exposes students to the ideas, methods, and materials of drawing and printmaking. Fundamental elements such as line, value, texture, shape and space are explored in works using media such as graphite, charcoal and ink on a variety of surfaces. Students will be introduced to printmaking methods through monoprinting and other immediate techniques. In hands-on exercises and projects, students will create original work based on observation and imagination. Slide lectures and critiques will help students to address technical concerns and contextualize their work within the rich history of these two graphic media. Studio work outside of scheduled class time is expected.
