Printmaking: The Printed Image

3 units

This course explores the printed image as storyteller, educator, political tool, and narrative. Historical precedents and contemporary examples of political prints, graphic novels, posters, and narrative suites are examined as possible models for self-directed projects. Readings and discussions include strategies for drawing and appropriating imagery. Students will have the opportunity to produce a thematically unified body of work while gaining technical expertise in woodcut, etching, and lithography.
