AFA 351 Printmaking: Lithography
Lithography (planographic) printmaking covers the fundamental processes of drawing and painting techniques of lithography, and the printing process of lithographs, using stones made from Bavarian limestone to pursue personal individual artistic choices. Photo transfer techniques, photo lithography, and digital-aided compositions are used to enhance image-making, and aluminum plates and plastic pronto plates are used as a printing matrix. Subsequent lithography course enrollments deal with further in-depth development and investigation of the processes of lithography. This includes further progressive development of printing skills and the lithographic image, and color printing, to develop skills more fully as an artist and as a printer in the lithographic medium. A total of 9 credits may be earned, but no more than 3 in any one semester or term.
Prerequisite: AFA 231 or by permission of instructor.
