Description
Instead of art making that leads to one image or object, often contemporary artists arrange groups of images to create large scale installations. The viewer¿s body must navigate through the installation of images to experience the work. In this class, students will investigate the use of printed multiples and repetition, serial and iterative methods, a variety of layering techniques, collaboration, and print¿s social potential through image dissemination and public display. Students will learn how to think and make in groups of images, with a focus on both exhibition based and site-specific print installations.
Students will be exposed to a wide variety of multi-disciplinary artists working within print installation or influenced by printmaking structures including Hanne Darboven, Jennifer Bartlett, Geta Br¿tescu, William Pope.L, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Wade Guyton, Charline von Heyl, Fischli and Weiss, Dieter Roth, Es Devlin, Kara Walker, Ed Ruscha, Allen Ruppersberg, Sarah Charlesworth, Jitish Kallat, Vija Celmins, Raymond Pettibon, James Turrell, Martin Puryear, Daniel Garcia Andujar, and Felix Gonzales Torres. Additionally, because time becomes a major factor when viewing print installations in space, this class will also explore temporal disciplines including video art, fashion, dance, and music.
Students will learn printmaking processes including relief printing, monotypes, digital process, and transfer techniques. The class will culminate in a final project where each student will make a personal print installation using the multiples they created. Elements of this installation will be completed in real space, in addition to a mock print installation displayed through architectural drawings and prints, 3D modeling computer programs (using the Adobe Suite and Google Sketch Up), and scaled sculptural models.

Description
What are the concerns that drive one's creative practice? How does one set the terms for its future development? Sophomore Seminar offers strategies for students to explore, reflect upon, and connect common themes and interests in the development of an emerging creative practice that will serve as the basis of their ongoing studies at SAIC and beyond. Students will examine historical and contemporary influences and contextualize their work in relation to the diverse art-worlds of the 21st Century. Readings, screenings, and field trips will vary each semester. Presentations by visiting artists and guest speakers will provide the opportunity for students to hear unique perspectives on sustaining a creative practice. One-on-one meetings with faculty will provide students with individualized mentorship throughout the semester. During interdisciplinary critiques, students will explore a variety of formats and tools to analyze work and provide peer feedback. The class mid-term project asks students to imagine a plan for their creative life and devise a self-directed course of study for their time at school. The course concludes with an assignment asking students to develop and document a project or body of work demonstrating how the interplay of ideas, technical skills, and formal concerns evolve through iteration, experimentation and revision.

Description
This intermediate-advanced studio develops students' creative practice in print through an engagement with plate lithography's wide range of image-making possibilities. Students gain a comprehensive introduction to printing with aluminum plates, including color and multi-layer printing, with an emphasis on individual experimentation and the ways lithography can extend studio interests within a personal practice. The course is designed for students who wish to build on their lithography skills, as well as those without prior experience who want to expand a portfolio rooted in other printmedia areas, such as screen, relief, etching, or offset.
The first half of the semester builds technical skills through demonstrations and two assigned projects focused on multilayer and color printing on aluminum plates. In the second half, students develop self-directed projects from a short written proposal, with the option to propose a stone project for those with prior stone experience.
Demonstrations and discussions cover plate-based techniques, including hand-drawn, digital, and photo-based methods, layering, multi-color printing, advanced registration, CMYK, duotone, alternative plates (such as pronto plates), and the production of editions, multiples, and alternative formats.
Examples of contemporary and historical lithographs, short readings, and a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago's Prints and Drawings Collection support discussion and project development. Students can expect to complete three to five finished pieces and participate in two critiques.

Description
This interdisciplinary studio class investigates the intersection of printmedia, artists¿ multiples and packaging as an entry point into making and thinking about multiples as a format for studio production. The history of artists¿ multiples (loosely defined as small-scale editioned or multiply produced three-dimensional works) includes many examples that use, or appropriate, printed elements and packaging in some way. This history, along with our daily experience of packaging (the many boxes, folders, labels, pamphlets, flyers and cartons found in nearly every aspect of contemporary life) offers a wealth of connections to consider and work from.
Students will be introduced to a range of printing and paper construction techniques within the Printmedia studio. These include hand-drawn and digital plate lithography, pattern layout and construction for packaging along with other selected tools and techniques.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to use SAIC labs such as the Service Bureau and digital fabrication centers. Examples of multiples, short readings, and a visit to the Joan Flasch or other related collections will support project development and discussion.
Students can expect to complete three to four projects and participate in two critiques.

Description
Sensitivity & Exposure explores the intersection of photography and printmaking through processes activated by pressure and light. Students develop technical skills while approaching print as a site-responsive medium¿sensitive to contact, light, time, material, and context.
Beginning with embossing and frottage, students consider pressure as a means of recording the scale, texture, and topography of objects, surfaces, and sites. These direct forms of contact introduce questions of indexicality and documentation that carry into cyanotype and gelatin silver printing, where photosensitive materials replace physical pressure as a means of registering objects, surfaces, duration, and space. Building on these analogue processes, students use digital fabrication to translate photographic images into laser-engraved linoleum blocks and photogravure plates, extending questions of exposure and reproduction into relief and intaglio printing.
Historical and contemporary artists provide critical frameworks for considering how these techniques developed and how their material and conceptual possibilities matter today. Jennifer L. Roberts¿s Contact: Art and the Pull of Print provides a key framework for examining contact, transfer, pressure, reversal, and reproduction across photography and printmaking.
The course combines demonstrations, studio experimentation, projects, readings, discussions, and critiques. The summer session is offered as an intensive, lab-based version focused on two processes: cyanotype and photogravure.

In the last twenty years, the Risograph machine has become a powerful tool in the hands of artists and self-publishers. Students in this course will learn advanced methods of printing, spot color layering and color-separation along with becoming immersed in the rich global culture of RIsograph printing and publishing.
The class will consist of demonstrations, lectures and presentations on current Risograph practitioners, visits with artists and publishers, trips to school collections and the prodigious production of strange and beautiful printed objects. Lectures and readings may include the work of artists Sigrid Calon, Lale Westvind, Joe Kessler, and the publishers Colorama, Perfectly Acceptable, Colour Code, The Charles Nypels Lab, Animal Press, Tan and Loose, and others.
Students will acquire knowledge of the vibrant world of Risograph-printed art and skills in Risograph machine operation, color separation, publishing software such as Adobe Illustrator and Spectorlite, along with the operation binding and finishing equipment. Students will apply this knowledge of the context of Risograph printing and publishing to inform their planning and execution of their own sophisticated printed multiples.
Students will be expected to produce 3-4 projects demonstrating technical proficiency and contextual grounding. These projects will be refined during regular one-on-one meetings and discussed in three group critiques. The course will culminate in a show of student work.

Description
This course will introduce students to the visual languages, graphic trends, and methods used in contemporary social movements 1960s to present. In collaboration with archivists around Chicago, we will view and discuss archived ephemera and create works in response to this research. The thematic structure of this course is situated around ideas of the radical archive. In its simplest form this refers to the aggregation of materials, practices, languages, information. We will also examine how radical archiving (democratic or disruptive) conceptually relates to more performative, gestural, or ephemeral forms; the ways an entire studio practice, a human life, or a single object can be considered an archive.
The 'Disobedient Objects' exhibition at the Victoria + Albert Museum provides the jumping-off point for this class. Readings + artists discussed include: Sharon Hayes, Julie Ault, Emory Douglas, Lucy Lippard, Gregory Sholette, Group Material. Archives visited + discussed include: Interference Archive; Gerber/Hart Library of LGBTQ history, SNCC Archives, ACT UP Chicago records.
Students will choose from a list of Chicagoland archives to search through for collections of interest. Thereafter, they will be creating additional works, ephemera, artifacts that speak to their understandings of the collection. Some considerations for delving into these collections include: Where do you fit in? What aesthetic cohesion is there between materials? What language is used in the messages? Materials? Processes? Distribution? Is the archive considered a closed set or are there things missing? What are the implications of 'updating' a collection / closed set?' We will also visit collections around the city as a class, meet with artists working at the intersections of art and activism and publishing.

Students are required to contribute to critical discussions around their own work as well as to discussions relating the work of their peers. The assignments intend to develop critical thinking skills related to individual ongoing projects. They also intend to aid in the developing the ability to articulate ones- artistic motivations, be self-critical, and take risks in creating new work. The final critique will take into account these factors.

Description
Designed for advanced-level Printmedia students, this course centers the studio as a site for physical and conceptual production. A combination of independent work time, individual meetings, group critiques and assigned prompts form the bulk of course programming. Students are expected to set personal goals informed by dialogue with course faculty and studio peers. Attention will be paid to independent practices and/or professional strategies beyond school. The course supports student production of a focused body of creative work. Students accepted into this section will be given an undergraduate studio in the 280 Building. Please note that during class time, students in this section don't have access to any print facilities other than their studio space.
Participation in group discussions and active engagement in class critiques is essential. Students are required to contribute to critical discussions around their own work as well as to discussions relating the work of their peers. The assignments intend to develop critical thinking skills related to individual ongoing projects. They also intend to aid in developing the ability to articulate ones' artistic motivations, be self-critical, and take risks in creating new work. The final critique will take into account these factors.

Description
The thematic structure of this course is situated around ideas of the archive. In its simplest form this refers to the aggregation of materials, practices, languages, information. We will also examine how the archive conceptually relates to more performative, gestural, or ephemeral forms; the ways an entire studio practice, a human life, or a single object can be considered an archive. What is at stake when we consider the breadth of history embedded in a single thing, word, or place? How does this change our negotiations with found matter (photographed, remembered, absorbed, etc).
From a practical standpoint, students will be examining their own studio practices and the ways in which their research relates to developing the underlying conceptual thread spanning their works: How can artistic research change the core questions fueling our inquiries? How can our research practices symbiotically nourish our studio practices? Students will be required to visit local archives, meet with researchers/professors outside the department/school, and to write critically about their own work.
Projects include:
Close reading of The Archive (Whitechapel Press)
1 page artist statement based on interviews and studio visits with classmates
A research paper related to studio practice (Based on research in archives around Chicago; expanded from 1 page artist statement)
