This course offers grad students a comprehensive introduction to intaglio print media -- traditional and contemporary - including etching, aquatint, monotype/monoprint, white ground, photoetching, and new alternative techniques. Printmaking encompasses drawing, design, mark making, multiples, sequences, and overlays, using various material substrates such as metals and plastics. Students will be expected to use modes of inquiry and research based on these new methods to determine how they support individual expression and begin to question and further the personal goals in a student's practice. Group and individual critiques will occur; the emphasis is on drawing and image development, technical knowledge, and professional practices. Projects may span media to build a group of related prints. Presentations on the historical and contemporary print and its culture, visiting artists, museum and studio visits provide context to contemporary printmaking.
