CI-147 Seeing Double, Printmaking, the Art of Discovery, Experimentation and Process
This is a hands-on course that uses the techniques and practices of basic printmaking to foster creative thinking in students. One of the essential aspects of the creative process is the testing and reworking of ideas and in this course they are visual ideas. This visual problem solving will become a creative habit that will be integrated into student experience. Experimental play in the studio classroom will help everyone learn to take chances and risk failure. Students will learn that failure creates opportunities for new ideas. Students will work individually and in teams to create work that they will use during group critiques. These critiques help students gain confidence and build their personal visual language.
Prerequisite
Restricted to students with less than 54 credits. Students with more than 54 credits needing to fulfill their CI requirement should seek approval from the Undergraduate Advising Office.
