TOPICS: MONOTYPE & EXPLORATORY PRINTING in Fall 2024 (AR2091A)

This experimental course teaches how to create monotypes: a one-of-a-kind, painterly print. Students will study various ways to transfer images from diverse matrices to paper and other supports including cloth, wood, and glass. Monotypes will be produced both with and without the help of an etching press. Additive and subtractive techniques, masking, stenciling, block printing, overprinting, and chine collé will all be taught. Towards the end of the course, students will be expected to use the different techniques they have learned for the creation of complex, layered monotypes. Presentations, group critiques, and museum visits will supplement in-class exercises and outside projects.

Please note that additional assignments will be given for those students enrolled in the 3000 level section of Monotype & Exploratory Printing. Further, work on a larger scale will be required of students enrolled in the 3000 level course.
