Bridge the immediacy of drawing with the processes of printmaking. In this workshop, you will focus on developing visual ideas in a serial, yet exploratory approach. This workshop is ideal both for artists with limited printmaking experience as well as advanced printmakers eager to learn traditional and alternative printmaking techniques of committing their creative ideas and impulses to prints. Learn how to harness monotype’s versatility and fluidity, while exploring its ability to extract the aesthetic qualities characteristic of oil/watercolor paintings and drawings. Investigate the unique, conceptual, and aesthetic possibilities of your visual inclinations, and draw inspiration from the campus’s breathtaking surroundings during walk-abouts.
