Intro Printmaking: Printmaking and the Built Environment

3 units

This course will cover printmaking processes including silkscreen, polyester lithography, and relief to create works on paper concerning the built environment. Through field trips, students will document and respond to the cycle of development and razing in the city of St. Louis with the goal of learning more about the urban environment and our relationship to it. Personal research, lectures and studio practice will give students the foundation to create projects responding to their experience of the city. Student work will be evaluated through critique and instructor feedback. Students are also encouraged to bring their own experiences with the built environment to their studio work.
