Print Making 301
This course allows students to push the boundaries within printmaking by producing both 2 and 3 dimensional works combining multiple processes. The primary focus will be a folio consisting of 3 A1 panels of work for the external standard. Students will begin by choosing a subject and style they are interested in and this will become the basis for their folio. They will begin by selecting relevant printmaking models from established practice to kick start the translation of ideas from drawings and paintings into at least two forms of printmaking. Their chosen subject will be explored through developed sequences of drawing, and small and large works which develop, clarify and resolve their ideas in print.
Interested students should view the slide show in the 'Useful Links' section.
