Explores the different possibilities of water-based screen-printing in a professional print shop atmosphere. Students can gain a solid working knowledge of screenprinting, employing both traditional and contemporary methods of stencil making, film preparation and printing methods on various papers, as well as alternative surfaces and materials. Techniques such as digital film outputting, mixing gradations with ink, multi-color registration, and fourcolor process printing are demonstrated and employed. Through independent projects, demonstrations, and critiques, students are encouraged to create a cohesive body of work and utilize the medium for their own individual artistic needs. Prerequisites: FF 100 and FF 198. Suggested for all printmaking majors in their sophomore or junior year. May not be repeated for credit.

In this course students will learn how to make intaglio prints using photo-etching techniques developed by Zacryl, a company that specializes in safe and affordable printing innovation. The process is nontoxic, relatively fast and has become an extremely popular way to combine photography and printmaking. At the core of this process a light-sensitive photopolymer film that adheres to the printing plate. Imagery created by both by hand or output digitally can then be exposed onto the sensitized plate, developed, and printed using a traditional etching press. The results are remarkable and open up the etching medium to a range of creative possibilities. Students will learn about materials and methods associated with digital imaging and photoprocessing as well as working in a traditional print shop environment. Note: No class on May 27.
