Description
How is print fundamental to artistic practice? Students will have two seven-week sections learning fundamentals, exploring ways in which artists utilize processes to facilitate print media based projects. Projects will encourage students to critically examine how print services concept and context both historically and within the contemporary. Each thematic section is anchored in a specific print process aimed to establish skill acquisition and experimentation. Sections in Room 221 and 222 will concentrate on experimental and innovative processes in Screenprinting and Lithography; the section meeting in Room 223 will explore contemporary practices using Relief, etching, monotypes, stencils, and collagraphs. Faculty will conduct process demonstrations, introduce students to a history of practitioners in the graphic arts, and provide supporting readings. Print processes covered may include screen printing, relief, monotypes, photo plate lithography, book arts. Topics will vary but may include the multiple, seriality, editions, public address, progression of collage, and self-publishing. Learning will be aided with visits to the AIC Department of Prints and Drawings and the Joan Flasch Artists Books Collection

Description
In this studio course, students will explore relief printmaking techniques using woodblocks, linoleum, found-objects, foam, monoprints and digital processes. Students will learn how to properly carve, ink, and print blocks in order to create editions as well as experiment with non-traditional formats. Students will be exposed to the rich history of relief printmaking through traditional and contemporary examples, specifically works from AIC and SAIC collections. Returning students will expand upon previous projects and develop new approaches to exploring content and understanding relief techniques. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of artists from the long and rich history of relief printmaking. We will examine artists who work traditionally within the medium, as well as artists who depend upon contemporary technology to create prints. Some of the artists we will explore in this course include Durer, Hokusai, Masereel, Mendez, Zarina and Baumgartner. Over the course of the semester, students will create 10-20 prints that show an understanding of the various relief techniques demonstrated by the instructor. Students will also participate in a print exchange folio at the end of the course. Projects will be critiqued throughout the semester.

Description
This class introduces students to the concepts and production of distributable artists� projects. Working closely with faculty, students develop projects to be printed on the Heidelberg offset press and Risograph machines. Multiples such as prints, books, zines, posters, stickers, cards, and packaging are examples of potential projects that utilize these high-volume printing processes. Image creation methods include digital, photo, collage, and hand-drawing. Adobe Creative Suite and a variety of binding and packaging techniques will be demonstrated. Through hands-on examples, readings, and visits to special collections, such as the Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection, a wide range of printed work and distributable projects will be shared and discussed. Over the semester, students can expect to complete a number of multi-color offset and risograph projects and participate in two critiques.

Radical Approaches: Blending Photography and Book Structures |

Wed

Description
A cool structure isn�t enough. Form and function matter. With various degrees of complexity, one can vary and confuse the way a narrative is arranged. This course is designed to introduce exclusive, hands-on artmaking experiences with various photo processes and non-traditional bookmaking techniques. This course is tailored to meet the needs of students seeking both new methods of image-making processes in photography and unique structures of various book types. Students will be challenged to work with images by constructing their narratives into book structures. This class will cover a wide range of photographic processes (Cyanotype, Brown-toned Print, Various Transfer Methods, Traditional Gelatine Silver Print) and non-traditional bookmaking techniques (Simple Folds Book, Accordion Book, Stab-binding, Drum-leaf binding, Flag Book, Waterfall FlipBook, Unique Fold Book, Portfolio Case). Visits to Joan Flasch Artists' Books Collection take place frequently when needed. The class provides slide presentations and several individual and group critiques. Taking chances, pushing boundaries, improvising, and experimenting with these new alternative techniques will be heavily explored when students develop their final projects. The outcome of the class is a work where content and structure form a complete aesthetic. Students will be expected to produce minor books, zines showing proficiency in both book building, photographic projects and the appropriateness of their choices. Sharing of ideas will come from regular show-and-tells of what has been done and work in progress working toward a final coherent book project. Assessment and aid will also stem from individual meetings. From these contacts examples mainly from the Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection but also specific tailored readings.

Description
This seminar is designed to provide practical and aesthetic dialogue for students, centered around the production of works on paper.
