Course Description: This course is an exploratory study of printmaking techniques including Relief, Intaglio, and Screenprint. Students pursue individualized projects while mastering each technique. Emphasis is on the experimentation, the development of the technique, and the utilization of printmaking as a tool for challenging studio practice and expanding broader critical concerns. Students gain an understanding of the print studio and its equipment, the tools, and terminology necessary for producing quality images. Students will be expected to invent, experiment, analyze and improvise. Purpose: An introduction to the basics of hand printmaking. With an emphasis on the translation and transferal of images, the tools, equipment, and technical skills that enable the making of a well defined print. Students will explore various print media with reference to historical and contemporary models. Discussion, presentation, and field trips will focus on the practical and conceptual concerns of making multiple images. Bibliography: There is no required textbook in this course. Any required readings will be posted on Blackboard. The instructor will bring in monographs and overview books to look through, and there is a library of print and papermaking books in the computer lab within the shop. Some recommended titles: Printmaking, A Complete Guide to Materials and Process. Grabowski & Fick Magical Secrets (multi-volume series on intaglio techniques.)

The Critique Handbook: a Sourcebook and Survival Guide. Buster & Crawford In addition this course is designed to: 1) Stimulate perceptual growth and visual awareness in the student. 2) Identify printmaking tools, methods, materials, and mediums as well as demonstrate skill and craft in their usage. 3) Conceptualize an idea and then compose it into an aesthetically resolved artwork. 4) Use creative process, including experimentation, to analyze and solve problems and explain why creativity is an important mode of human expression. 5) Utilize digital software and technology for research and image manipulation. 6) Apply a set of criteria to evaluate a work of art. 7) Utilize recommended health and safety practices, and demonstrate the ability to work cooperatively with others in a Printmaking Studio setting. 8) Demonstrate reasonable oral and written skills using correct Printmaking terminology. 9) Demonstrate an awareness of the art making traditions of various cultures. 10) Create a portfolio of work that can be used for job and/or educational placement. Student Participation and Evaluation: Students develop a suite of prints or other related investigation in tandem with their studio work or based on a theme of the instructor’s choosing or their own in consultation with the instructor. Students are required to keep all of their work completed throughout the semester. Critiques and portfolio reviews will be the primary method of student evaluation. Since evaluation is based on work done in class, class attendance is mandatory. It is important to be on time since all demonstrations will be conducted at the beginning of class. If the student is 20 minutes late they will be counted as absent. This class fulfills a General Education Core requirement for Arts. Core requirements help ensure that students become acquainted with the broad range of intellectual domains that contribute to a liberal education. By experiencing the subject matter and ways of knowing in a variety of fields, students will be better able to synthesize new knowledge, respond to fresh challenges, and meet the demands of a complex world. Arts goal: Mason courses in the film making, visual and performing arts stress generative, inquiry based learning through direct aesthetic and creative experience in the studio environment. Courses aim to achieve a majority of the following learning outcomes: students will be able to identify and analyze the formal elements of a particular art form using vocabulary appropriate to that form; demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between artistic technique and the expression of a work’s underlying concept; analyze cultural productions using standards appropriate to the form and cultural context; analyze and interpret material or performance culture in its social, historical, and personal contexts; and engage in the artistic process, including conception, creation, and ongoing critical analysis.

  • Printmaking for Graphic Design Students in the Age of the Digital Screen: an Art, a Craft Or a Creative Intersection
    Arts and Design Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6061 (Paper) ISSN 2225-059X (Online) Vol.66, 2018 Printmaking for Graphic Design Students in the Age of the Digital Screen: An Art, a Craft or a Creative Intersection Dr Debra Livingston School of Communication and Creative Industries, University of the Sunshine Coast Maroochydore DC, Queensland, Australia 4556 Abstract This article discusses the research, exploration, practice and positive impact on student learning outcomes of a ‘Blended Learning’ initiative printmaking project course that was introduced into a digital platform-based graphic design program. Printmaking is the transference of an artwork via various means onto the surface of a substrate, mainly paper, involving media, technologies and crafts that are distinctly different to the digital platform. The pedagogical learning methods involved practice led-research where students explored various printmaking forms whilst developing creative works in these mediums. This practicum initiative for design students that do not have traditional art practices within their program structure was important as it furthers their education whilst developing a number of important personal qualities, particularly those of initiative, perseverance and self- reliance. Importantly, these traditional skills broadened their interplay and understanding between visual arts, the craft of printmaking with conventional and digital technical skills, resulting in a dynamic body of work for their portfolio. The course and following offerings included the conversion of their handcrafted work onto a digital platform into actual design outcomes, thus providing a clear link between the handcrafting and digital technology. Graphic design students completing the printmaking course embraced the opportunity to draw methods from cross‐ disciplinary pursuits to compliment and extend their knowledge and to support fresh, contemporary ideas in which to contribute to their various major design studies.

    SUNSET REFLECTIONS Printmaking Lesson Printmaking: An art form consisting of the reproduction of images •Wood Cut • Lithography •Linocut • Screen Print •Etching • Digital Print •Engraving • Transfer •Monotype • The oldest printmaking technique, woodcut involves carving an image into a wooden surface, which is then inked and printed— leaving the carved-out image in negative, as well as occasional traces of the wood’s grain. • A more modern analog to woodcut, linocuts are made using linoleum; the softness of the material allows for cleaner, freer, and more fluid lines. LINOCUT ETCHING • To create an etching, artists incise (“draw”) a composition onto a leaves the wax intact, so that when the plate is in wax-coated metal plate, then soak the entire plate in acid. The acid corrodes the exposed lines and ked and pressed, the paper absorbs the image in reverse. MONOTYPE • Unlike most other printmaking techniques, this process produces unique editions. Artists draw, paint, or otherwise manipulate ink or paint to create a composition on a smooth surface, which is then produced in reverse when applied to a ground support. ENGRAVING • A less forgiving version of etching (mastered by Dürer), in this process artists incise their image directly onto a metal plate, which is then inked and printed. LITHOGRAPHY • Generally seen as the most difficult printmaking method, lithography involves drawing directly on flat surface (usually stone) with an oil-based implement, then coating it with a water-based liquid. When oil-based ink is applied it’s repelled by the water, inking in just the image and allowing it to be transferred onto a paper ground.

    Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Walter Gropius Master Artist Series Huntington Museum of Art March 2012 - August 2012 MEMBERS MAGAZINE HMA is teaming up with Doodle 4 Google™ and encouraging teachers and parents to find out more about the competition for K-12 students and the prizes available by going to http://www. google.com/doodle4google/ Ten West Virginia finalists in the competition will be on view in a special exhibit at HMA from May 22 through June 26, 2012. An opening reception takes place at 7 p.m., May 22, 2012. Admission to the reception is free and HMA general admission will be free during the entire run of the exhibit from May 22 through June 26, 2012. Letter from the Executive Director Dear Members, In many of my letters to you, I so often talk about the future and how we must evolve and grow to meet our audiences’ changing needs. Today, however, I want to reflect on the rich and unique opportunities that this institution has offered to artists in our region for the past 20 years. The year 2012 marks the 20th Anniversary of the Walter Gropius Master Artist Workshop Series. I doubt that at the time the Museum was made aware of Roxanna Yoho Booth’s bequest which was given “to assist in the development of an art education program in accordance with the proposals of Walter Gropius” that anyone was able to anticipate the incredible Alex E. Booth, Jr., is shown with artwork he has donated to the Huntington Museum of Art’s permanent collection.

  • The Boston Printmakers 2017 North American Print Biennial
    The Boston Printmakers 2017 North American Print Biennial The Lunder Arts Center Lesley University College of Art & Design Cambridge, MA 2017 Juror Judith Brodie Curator of American and Modern Prints and Drawings National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. January 27 – March 4, 2018 1 Outmoded? “The second half of the twentieth century is no time to start writing on rocks,” proclaimed Robert Rauschenberg in the early 1960s. He was referring to stone-based lithography, a medium that struck him as outmoded in the Space Age. Despite his declaration, Rauschenberg went on to embrace the medium, producing one after another groundbreaking lithograph. Artists working today might similarly contend that the dawn of the third millennium is no time to start chipping away at wood. Evidence, however, suggests otherwise. Nearly half of the works selected for the Boston Printmakers 2017 North American Print Biennial are relief prints—either woodcuts or linocuts—with additional techniques often part of the mix, as in Mark Sisson’s Portrait of Daniel King: Scouting, for Men and Boys, which combines linocut, woodcut, and lithography (p.34). It would be reasonable to argue that this high percentage is the result of a prejudice on my part as the juror. I had to ask this very question: Am I unduly partial to relief prints? Searching for an answer I turned to a 2016 exhibition, Three Centuries of American Prints from the National Gallery of Art, which I co-curated with Amy Johnston. If I had a bias, I thought, then it would reveal itself in the checklist at the back of the catalogue.

Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Gerson. Photo:SoichiSunami Theearliest prints were made from simple materials cut with simple tools, and they consisted of simple religious messagesdemanding periodic repe tition. Soft stone and wood were incised with prayers and symbols of deities. Patterns derived from these graphic elements were also given decorative function and cut into blocks for printing fabric. These Oriental beginnings were not much different from those in Europe some centuries later. The individual woodcuts of the Virgin Mary, or playing cards with the signs and symbols of royalty, functioned as ordinary, practical materials for daily life in the late medieval period.
