ART 217 Printmaking - Screenprinting

3 Credit(s) CEA

An introduction to the medium of serigraphy (screenprinting) as a means of creating multiples and as a viable means of self-expression. The process demands that an image be deconstructed into multiple layers which are then reconstituted by forcing ink onto paper through a mesh screen. Investigation of color theory, the history of the medium, hand-drawn transparencies, photo-stencils, and the appropriation of imagery are central to this course. 2-Dimensional Studio Elective in the Graphic Design concentration; Depth or Breadth Elective in the Studio Art & Photography concentration; and Elective for the 2-Dimensional Minor. Five and one-half scheduled studio hours plus three and one-half open studio hours per week.
