ART - 6574 Printmaking: Intaglio (3)

This course examines techniques unique to intaglio printmaking, such as hard and soft ground etching, aquatint, and some advanced and experimental techniques. The methods used in the course are non-toxic innovations which avoid hazardous materials used in traditional etching. This includes photo imaging with ImagOn film and learning how to make a proper halftone positive. Emphasis is placed on the student’s original imagery through planning, proofing, and reworking to a resulting consistent edition of prints, as well as unique prints, which are not editioned, and state prints. Course may be repeated with instructor’s permission. Equivalent to ART-574.
