Overview
Printmaking processes offer unique possibilities for developing ideas and the effects that can be achieved.
On this eight-week course you'll investigate ideas though low-tech printmaking and painting. You'll learn about a variety of media and approaches to producing investigational artwork.
You'll explore the potential of intertwining print with paint. You'll focus on mono-printing and printing from found objects, investigating surface by printing from both the raised (relief) and recessed (intaglio).
Classes are held on Wednesday mornings, from 10:30am to 1pm.
This course is run by the Slade School of Fine Art at UCL.
Course structure and teaching
The course will involve mono-printing and collograph, painting, drawing and collage.
You'll learn about:
- materials and their application
- colour theory
- composition
- figurative pictorial space and abstract pictorial space
You'll explore pace of application, and the preparation and possibilities of different surfaces.
You'll quickly generate a lot of work that will open up many possibilities that can be investigated further.
Critiques and discussion will support you to harness these beginnings, in terms of both content and formal elements.
