3 humanities credits

An advanced exploration of printmaking as a personalized vehicle of expression. Students explore contemporary approaches to printmaking, while developing a coherent body of work and a professional portfolio.

Notes: Printmaking is the technical and aesthetic area of the visual arts in which the artist draws on (or otherwise manipulates) a print surface of some kind (such as a linoleum block or piece of etching zinc). Original works, resembling drawings, are created by applying ink to the incised (or otherwise treated) print surface and pressing paper against it.
