Studio Practice Posting: Printmaker

description

Share a printmaker (at least 2, but more welcome) with the class via our D2L site. Is there a print you’ve seen that sticks with you? Is there a printmaker you follow? Is it time to find some new artists to inspire you?

For this assignment you will find a printmaker and post a couple images of their work or a link to their work in the D2L discussion board labeled “Studio Practice Posting: Printmaker”, and tell us a little bit about them or what you like about their work. The printmakers can be established or emerging. They can come from the fields of fine arts, commercial, garment, design, activism, education or any other field. You can choose a printmaker based on their work or concepts or print studio or technique, etc. Variety is the spice of life!

process:

· Choose a printmaker

· Post a couple images or a link to their work in the D2L discussion board labeled “Studio Practice Posting: Printmaker”

· Tell us a bit about them or what makes them interesting to you.

· Read through the other class posts. Optional: comment as you see fit.

· REPEAT this process with a second printmaker

resources:

· Research prints and printmakers via justor, books, online, museum collection, etc.
