This course has been structured to develop a range of creative relationships, and the technical and conceptual skills, necessary to produce content in printmaking media. Forms including artist books, ephemera, and hybrid and collaborative print ventures will be investigated. Students will be guided and encouraged to develop strategies to publish, edition, and disseminate their work into a range of markets, and for a number of audiences, beyond the gallery and the museum. Working with faculty, each student proposes, in writing, a semester-long program of involvement and creative activity resulting in a personally directed body of work and publication. It may cross disciplines, combine processes, or be focused on more advanced technical issues. In all cases, it links to the student’s conceptual investigations in other disciplines.
