Many students love hands-on work, especially when it involves using tools. Printmaking is an art medium that is methodic, therapeutic and creative. Students will get a chance to incorporate what we have learned about line, shape, form, repetition, and pattern. They will use tools to carefully carve their designs into the linoleum, creating one of a kind prints. Using black and primary ink colors, they will be able to create new colors of their choice to enhance their work. Printmaking is the form and process of applying a work of art to another surface. Printmaking is important because of its unique techniques that allow the artist to experiment and problem solve to find what works best for their print. Learning Outcomes include: 1. An understanding of the basic principles of making prints, and the ability to apply these principles with specific aesthetic intent. This includes functional knowledge of the traditions, conceptual modes, and evolutions of the discipline. 2. Knowledge and skills in the use of basic tools, techniques, and processes sufficient to work from concept to finished product using traditional methods and contemporary practices in reduction, relief and mono-printing. 3. The ability to work and study independently. 4. Ability to develop and present a culminating body of work.
