Peace, Prints & Protest

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This introductory course, open to non-majors and majors, will show students how the reproduction of images has created social change for better or for worse. In doing so, the course will survey a variety of basic traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques including relief, etching, lithography, and silkscreen. Through global conversations about printmaking, demonstrations, lectures, and readings, students will become actively involved in specific social justice issues while understanding how printmaking can function as a relevant voice in the context of the modern world.
