RC ARTS 287 focuses on printmaking as a means of visual inquiry and expression. Projects will direct students to create multiples as well as one-of-a-kind images using a variety of printmaking techniques (linocut, monotype, intaglio and silkscreen). The aim of the course is for students to acquire a rounded education including image development, conceptual growth, and technical skills via lectures, demonstrations, studio projects, discussions, and field trips to local exhibitions. The final goal is to empower the student to feel comfortable articulating his/her visual interests via the print medium, and to be able to make choices in that context from an informed standpoint. Class has a studio lab fee.
