ART 3034 - Non-Major Intaglio I

Meets with ART 3340. The aim of this course is to introduce the student to the different techniques for making intaglio prints with the main focus being the development of your own unique imagery. The techniques covered will include the use of hard and soft grounds, aquatints, spit biting, sugar lift and the use of hand tools such as the roulette. We will also use different methods for creating color prints and these will included surface rolling techniques, the use of multiple plates (and registration), inking one plate with different colors (a la poupe) and simultaneous printing. Non-majors will do the same number of projects as the majors but the physical expectations will be lower. This will mean a reduction in size and a small edition of prints for the final.
