PRINT 4000
Independent Projects: Printmaking
Undergraduate Projects gives the student the opportunity to
explore a specific problem in the student’s area of concentration,
carried out independently but with a faculty adviser. A schedule of
conferences is usually established at the beginning of the semester.
Instructor signature required for registration. Open to students at
junior level and above.
PRINT 4002
Advanced Undergraduate Printmaking Seminar
This seminar is designed to provide practical and aesthetic dialogue
between students, faculty, and invited guests, centered around the production
of printed art. Participants should have an ongoing body of work, including
some use of print media. The format will be split between critiques
and the study of printed art from the twentieth century, from hand to
digital processes. Requirements will include an assigned day for a comprehensive
critique, and there will be readings as well as a short written paper.
Prerequisite: Any Printmaking course.
PRINT 4003
Advanced Offset Productions
This course provides instruction in conceptualizing, producing, and
distributing printed artists’ multiples. It is designed to be
project-based, prioritizing students’ individual goals, rather
than covering a general range of information. Therefore, technical demonstrations
will be offered as needed. Critiques will focus on the conceptual use
of the multiple as art, with particular attention paid to exploration
of alternative venues for viewing and distribution. The course also
includes a discussion group that will meet in the Joan Flasch Artists’
Book Collection in the Flaxman Library once a month. Prerequisite: PRINT
3001.
PRINT 4004
Advanced Printmaking
The purpose of this course is to facilitate students who have progressed
beyond the advanced 3000 level classes offered by the Department of
Printmaking. Students are expected to be self-motivated and capable
of working in an interdisciplinary and mature fashion. This is a 4000
level class; the instructor’s signature is required to register.
The instructor is available for consultation during pre-registration.
Contact the Department of Printmaking for an appointment.
PRINT 4010
Multiples in Contemporary Art Practice
This course will address printed and object multiples as they have been
used by artists both as autonomous projects and as extensions of their
work in other media. Seminal and current publishers and production centers
will be examined in relation to the theory and practice of their times.
Students will make extensive use of the Joan Flasch Artists’ Books
Collection for research and study, and will collaborate on the production
of a multiple object as part of their research.
