SART2406 Planographic Printmaking: Systems and Substrates will offer studio-based instruction involving discussion and practical demonstration in a range of lithographic skills from image development using crayon, tusche, photo transfer and black manner methods through to several printing strategies that could work independently or in combination with screen methods. You will be assessed relative to your interpretation and realisation of 2 set projects that investigate core thematic and technical issues relevant to current art in print. With this knowledge, you will then apply basic research skills in an analysis of historic and current graphic trends in the production of a self-directed practical project. This 2nd year introductory studio course contributes to one of two, four-course specialist Printmaking 'streams' and offers preparation for advanced study in 3rd year and may also be taken as an elective where places are available.
