Content Summary
The module will require you to develop an innovative and experimental line of investigation that utilises and explores numerous application and construction techniques within printmaking and ceramics.
You will consider health and safety, and the consideration of how such practices may relate to other disciplines will be examined.
Printmaking (Delivered in Term 1)
You will explore and develop advanced skills in silk-screen, planographic, intaglio and relief printmaking, producing a small edition of prints in three areas. Techniques taught will involve methods of registration such as aligning and overlaying images and colours, engraving, cutting and distressing on different surfaces.
You may explore the use of printmaking in relation to another media.
