This intermediate studio will explore Lithography as an expanded practice for creating fine art prints that are both innovative and experimental. The course will focus on both individual and collaborative projects to expand the notions and practice of traditional lithography by combining it with other artistic practices. Students will be introduced to a range of printing techniques within the Printmedia Lithography studio area, including multi-color and plate-based lithography with hand-drawn, digital and photo based options for creating images. Examples of lithographs, short readings, and a visit to the AIC Prints and Drawings collection will support project development and discussion. Students can expect to complete three to five projects and participate in two critiques.
