    Prerequisites: VIAR R3040, VIAR R3401, or VIAR R3411. Printmaking I: Graphic Novel The objective of the course is to provide students with an interdisciplinary link between drawing, printmaking, and graphic narrative. The course will probe the relation of language to image through three projects: an intensive drawing project, a "zine", and finally, a graphic novel. The course work will guide students through a natural progression beginning with pure image (drawing), transitioning to non-narrative linkage text (the graphic novel). We will primarily explore the graphic novel as a medium for creating art. While graphic novel can certainly be used to tell a simple story, there are many other ways in which an artist can use the medium to convey complex ideas and to create and share their own world. In this course, students will develop and refine their drawing sensibility, and are encouraged to experiment with various forms of non-traditional printmaking.

    A concise study and application of the copper plate photogravure process. Usage of current available resources substituting for materials that are no longer available for photogravure. This is a 19th century obsolete photomechanical reproduction process that is constantly challenging the ingenuity of it's practitioners to keep it alive and a viable technique in the 21st century. The course objectives are understanding and demonstrating proficiency in the photogravure process and creation of finished printed images from the process learned. It is important for the future of this process that the students understand not only the "how", but the "why" of going through all of these procedures.

    An introductory course in black-and-white photography, Photography I is required for admission to all other photo classes. Students are initially instructed in proper camera use and basic film exposure and development. Then the twice weekly meetings are divided into lab days where students learn and master the fundamental tools and techniques of traditional darkroom work used in 8x10 print production and classroom days where students present their work and through the language of photo criticism gain an understanding of photography as a medium of expression. Admitted students must obtain a manually focusing 35mm camera with adjustable f/stops and shutter speeds. No prior photography experience is required.
