This course engages students in historic and contemporary approaches to water-based screenprinting concepts and technologies, while encouraging a multi-disciplinary approach to fine art print production. Students will begin with direct cut-paper and hand-painted stencils and move into more complex hand-drawn and digitally manipulated photographic techniques. There will be an emphasis on multi-colored, multi-layered prints as well as the print as image, book, poster, installation, and sculpture. Community and group-based activities will be an integral part of the course.
