ARTS 373 - Photopolymer Intaglio Printmaking (3 credits)

(Prereq: ARTS 103 and ARTS 112, or permission of the instructor) An introduction to non-toxic photopolymer printmaking processes. This course offers the student the opportunity to investigate a process that creates an original matrix from which multiples can be made. Photopolymer intaglio enables the artist to make prints that have qualities of both traditional intaglio and lithography, without exposure to toxic chemicals. The process is relatively direct and prints are achieved much faster than though traditional printmaking methods. Students will use both two-dimensional design and drawing skills to expand their drawing and design abilities and conceptual thinking. F, S.
