This unit of study will introduce you to the principal materials and techniques of etching and intaglio plate printing. You will follow a project-based curriculum in a broad range of process based workshops that investigate the reprographic potential and material character of drawing through the medium of print. You will explore the historical and contextual relationship between drawing and printmaking; its industrial heritage, its specific rich and sensuous graphic quality and its potential for repeatable copies. You will develop visual research and critical analysis skills and safe studio work practices to support the production of conceptually engaging and technically well resolved works.
