In addition to the visual component of the course, instruction in seminar form will comprise visual artist professional practice methods that involve resume, cover letter, and employment application. Critiques will be frequent, in individual and group format including a group mid-term critique and end of semester critique that includes an invited, guest critic. This course will encompass oral discussion and presentations.
Installation and presentation of work created will be analyzed as a critical component. Juniors will refine technical application, engage in experimentation and study historical/contemporary artists and movements as the course progresses from scheduled project orientation to more independent bodies of work involving printmaking and its combinations with other mediums. This course primarily involves the search for a personal, idiosyncratic visual statement.
#Silkscreen class registration
Estimated Materials Cost: $100.00 Graduate major requirement Printmaking majors only Registration by Printmaking Department, course not available via web registration. Demonstrations, presentations, and group/individual critiques will supplement all work time. Students are encouraged to use print as a launching pad for work that might include painting, photography, sculpture, film, video and installation. Projects will require the individual exploration of these techniques and application to each students' personal studio practice. Processes covered will include drawing fluid/screen filler, screen monotype, image transfer, woodblock and linocut, edition printing, reduction relief and multi-plate registration. The class is reunited at mid term and final for discussion and critique. Taught in 2 side by side studios - one in silkscreen the second in relief, students are split in two sections for technical instruction ensuring that all students learn both relief and screen print.
Grad Print I brings first term Printmaking and Painting graduate students into common creative and critical space as a reflection of the notion that printmaking is a "hub" within the visual arts. Estimated Materials Cost: $125.00 Elective Open to Printmaking majors only juniors and above. The semester will culminate in a self-directed final project that requires students to generate a grouping of works that successfully combine a selection of the processes covered which includes a substantial set of proofs, studies, plating tests, and pertinent supplementary visual/technical research. The semester will be driven by demonstration, guided in-class work, independent work focused on experimentation, and conversation geared toward alternatives to substrate (paper), matrix (copper, polymer, plexi), and medium (ink). Demonstrations and assignments will focus on the virtues of plating material, not solely as printable matrices, or carriers of transferrable visual information, but also as finished objects. Coursework will cover topics such as: custom stop-outs, extended etches, ink interfacing, toner transfers, and extensions into the digital realm utilizing the Benson Hall "Tech Lab" resources. The coursework builds bridges from experience in the process of etching and the medium of intaglio by presenting advanced and innovative approaches to platemaking and printing using copper, plexiglass, and polymer plate types. I would like to try this technique on wood.Experimental Print Media: Alternative Intaglio Practices focuses on the experimental possibilities of etching processes and intaglio-based printing methodologies. I'm a keen crafter but have never used any silk screen equipment. It's worth it though, and these days I hardly ever do anything else. Afetr you're finished you will need to varnish it, probably twice.īecause it takes so long I usually get an early start and allow an entire day for one piece. Wood needs to be prepped with several coats of acrylic emulsion, which all need to dry, so allow plenty of time. If that doesn't appeal to you I think you'd be okay, it will just be a bit harder to grasp at first. May 19, - I think you would be better off buying a silk screening kit and getting a little familiar with the process before you try it on wood. If you try it be sure to make a note of the designs, to avoid sending the same one to someone twice! They're always really popular and it's not very expensive to buy the card and stencils. I've been making greeting cards for several years, using great silk screen supplies I buy online.
