This course involves the exploration of printing processes that utilize the computer as an image generator. Creative scanning and manipulation of images on the computer using Photoshop will be introduced. These images will then be printed utilizing numerous digital printing surfaces on a variety of fabrics, papers, and plastics. This course will also involve the use of uncommon imaging techniques including Xerox, Polaroid, heat and solvent based transfers. Basic bookbinding and papermaking techniques will also be introduced. Students are encouraged to develop a personal vocabulary by combining these techniques with images and found, purchased and recycled materials as well as media from other disciplines. Historical and contemporary issues and practices involving digital media are explored through slide lectures, readings, class discussions, and field trips. Note: Previous course title was “Digital Printing Fabric.”
