Printmaking: Silk Screen

4 Credits

Introduction to silkscreen (serigraph) printmaking, from single color prints to complex prints using 5-7 colors. Exercises in digital and hand-drawn images on a variety of surfaces, from paper to textiles are used. Color theory and design principles are embedded in assignments, and techniques include stencil-making, digitizing, and mono-printing. Research in the LUAG collections will accompany projects. Students will have access to a professional silkscreen lab, and printing will use non-toxic water-based methods. Appropriate for introductory and intermediate level printmaking students.
