Digital Printmaking

Through traditional and digital print media, the course explores the convergence of digital imaging (vector and raster processes) and printmaking techniques (such as monoprint, lithography, etching and silkscreen). Vector graphics use geometry: points, lines and fills, creating crisp re-scaleable images. Raster graphics use a rectangular grid of pixels to create continuous-tone effects. By exploring these approaches and their transference to printmaking processes, students gain deeper understanding of print technology and a more tactile awareness of image making. Fee course.
