SummaryTHIS IS A FOR-CREDIT ONLY COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED

This course will challenge students to investigate new ways of approaching Intaglio techniques to develop a series of ambitious and related images for print. Using and combining a range of multiple plate colour etching, photo etching, chine collé and aquatint, students will develop their own coherent themes and imagery. Students will explore the possibilities of this historic technique, and also examine how their work addresses more contemporary printmaking concerns. Printmaking today pushes boundaries, and has become central to many artists¿ activity. Students will explore the creative potential of contemporary intaglio techniques such as photo etching, and re-examine traditional methods. Students will be encouraged to experiment and develop a personal response to the medium, exploiting the creative and innovative possibilities this technique has to offer.
