Course Description
A variety of photo and digital based printmaking techniques (high and low-tech) will be introduced as alternative means of printing photographic images to present new methods of layering and manipulating images along with and beyond that of traditional photographic and digital printing. The techniques introduced will incorporate textural and hand-drawn elements with an array of multiple-colour and multiple-image layering possibilities. These approaches will be further applied with a focus on the concept and serial image development utilizing an expanded vocabulary of format and presentation. Also, in the course, students are further introduced to computers and software relating to the subject.
