Printmaking is about exploring a range of printmaking mediums and techniques, creating artworks that tell a story or express ideas and messages and applying printmaking techniques to a range of projects and outcomes. Some of the mediums used are; screen printing, lino-cutting, photoshop, laser cutting and etching, large format prints and collage.
Taking inspiration from the work of contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol, Ai Weiwei and Shepard Fairey, students mix old and new media including photoshop, collage, painting and screen-printing to create an artwork that explores and expresses their ideas about the world you live in
You will learn and practice new drawing skills through in-class lessons and homework exercises.
This project unpacks the way artists manipulate art elements, art principles and techniques to express ideas. You will study the art of particular historical periods and apply what you have learned in practical artworks.
Practical projects are assessed with regular feedback and an end-of-project rubric. An end-of-semester examination will test the content of both practical and theory projects. Homework will be assessed with regular feedback and grades.
