Description

In this unit, students will experiment with translating photographs and drawings into silkscreens as well as other print forms. Lectures will provide critical background for investigation of historical and contemporary artists. Practical workshops will demonstrate silk screen, digital photo-stenciling, digital-printing, photo-etching, monoprint and letterpress. It is expected at this level that students will lead their own self-directed project; however, critical feedback will be given through group/ peer reviews and on-going discussion with the lecturer. The student will investigate the media and produce a body of studio work informed by relevant concepts.
