syllabus — ART 324 — Intermediate Printmaking

 

 

Course of Study
 

description

This course provides a high degree of autonomy to allow you to pursue meaningful work.

My expectations for our working process (in addition to those outlined in the syllabus) are:

1.    You will seek meaningful concepts to drive your work and you will support and develop these concepts through researching the areas and topics involved. I will provide additional resources or materials to assist your research and will be available for in-depth discussion in and/or outside of class.

2.    You will improve your printmaking skills and techniques through practice and experimentation. You will choose the printing processes and production appropriate to the content of your work and I will assist you in developing your proficiency.

3.    My role is to challenge you and facilitate your creation of strong work. Your role is to actively communicate with me and challenge yourself.
Scheduling 1-on-1 meetings is advisable!

 

The default framework for me to grade your work in this class is for you to develop 2 significant print collections addressing topics of your choice; this wording is intentionally loose to accommodate a variety of production results. Assignment submission would coincide with the ART 229 class critique so your work would be part of the critique. In addition to your work you will need to submit visual evidence of development in your work. This may include multiple designs/sketches (digital or otherwise), a number of print experiments (similar to the process in ART 229), or multiple directions represented in your print collection (for example more than one limited edition).

 

You may propose a different framework than the one outlined above for my approval.

 

 

assignment:

1.    Please email me a list of topics/concepts you may want to address in your 2 print collections OR email me your independent proposal/framework for this course.

2.    Email me any other questions, comments, concerns, or things you feel I should know to best address your needs in this class.
