4 credits LAB FEE: $50 semester Prerequisite: Art 3010, or Art 3011, or Art 2013, or Art 2014, or permission of the Instructor. This course will continue to examine graphics transfer techniques with an approach to art that lies between the fields of drawing, printmaking, and painting. Oil paint, oil sticks, pastels, etching inks, drawing inks, lithography crayons, fabric dyes, watercolors, and solvents are applied, brushed, and brayered to a variety of plate surfaces, such as plexiglass, heavy glass slabs, formica, Lucite, and metal plates. These highly experimental, one-of-a kind techniques may then be printed and run through an etching press or hand rubbed to produce a unique image. This method allows students to freely "push the boundaries" of traditional painting andprintmaking in a non-traditional context. This course may be repeated for advanced credit in conjunction with Senior Thesis course preparation.
