FAS 330 - Printmaking: Intaglio, Aquatint & Alternative Processes

This studio course introduces Intaglio & Alternative Process and covers printmaking theory and techniques through lectures, demonstrations, critiques, and individual studio time. Students develop imagery through an exploration of historical and contemporary art and culture and will complete a portfolio of limited edition prints using the state-of-the-art Conrad E28 Intaglio Press. Students make multiple original prints through several processes including additive and subtractive approaches to monotype printing, non-toxic intaglio etching, drypoint and aquatint on zinc, copper and plexi plates, as well as alternative process methods which involve photo-sensitive emulsions or pronto plates and image transfers. Individual lab time is required. Students will learn to demonstrate proper studio method including the safe handling and cleaning of tools, materials, and equipment as well as studio etiquette
