GDD 312A - Printmaking Studio-Dublin

We will travel to Dublin to view the Book of Kells, and the National Print Museum. While there we will produce an edition of prints at the Black Church Print Studio. Printmaking, the original graphic art, is how images have been reproduced for hundreds of years. Students will learn how to both create and print from original plates by techniques of relief printing, etching, and lithography. This studio course offers first-hand experience with the challenges and rewards of making multiple copies of original artwork through traditional means. Material fee: $50 (plates, ink and standard paper). Involves some strenuous physical activity and the use of sharp implements. (Please note: The travel component requires an additional Program Fee. Please contact the instructor for details).
Prerequisites: ART-110 Graphic Design and Digital Media majors only.
