PR 235 - The Collaborative Print

Institution:

Montserrat College of Art

Subject:

Description:

3 credits This course emphasizes the collaborative capabilities present in the printmaking process. The tradition of collaboration acknowledges the importance of rational planning and communication skills as well as the intuitive processes associated with creativity. Students explore the history and context of various models for collaboration as well as the work of specific collaborative artists such as The Fluxus artists, Group Material, General Idea and others. Projects focus on the development of concepts and images through a shared involvement in the creative process. This will take the form of directed projects such as an exquisite corpsestyle exchange or other multi-part or large scale projects involving multiples. Montserrat's print facility will be used to produce a print project (edition or otherwise) with a visiting artist. Students develop problem-solving skills as they explore the implications of their own ideas and the ideas of others, break down projects into stages, discuss the developing images and adopt or invent print processes for the purpose of resolving the final result. Innovation and hybrid media approaches will be encouraged. Prerequisites: Fulfills: 200-level Printmaking Elective; Studio Elective
