Learning Outcomes
1. Prepare a proposal for a series of prints which are a vehicle for the expression of a personal philosophy
2. Describe the role of contemporary issues and theory in printmaking as a fine art discipline
3. Plan and execute a series of prints for folio presentation
Details of Learning Activities
Technical assistance will be provided during studio classes, both in traditional and digital printmaking processes. Students will receive individual, timetabled tutorials, during which conceptual development will be addressed. Students will develop greater independence in their studio practice, and make considered decisions as to which printmaking medium gives best expression to conceptual/aesthetic concerns. They will need to be able to articulate these in the form of written proposal. The Exchange Printmaking Portfolio will be finalised, collated and distributed to each of the participating students.
Teaching Schedule
The course is delivered over an 18 week semester. Weeks 1-16 will consist of studio based tutorial. Weeks 17-18 will consist of folio prepartation and assessment.
