Students are introduced to lithography through an exploration of stone lithography¿s characteristic dynamic range of direct drawn, painterly and graphic possibilities for image development. Emphasis is placed on gaining a thorough understanding of lithographic principles and printing processes. Class demonstrations and critiques are supported by consideration and discussion of contemporary and historic examples and a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago¿s print study room

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 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.
