MONOPRINTS/ Kathy Garrou
Wed    6:30-9:30 PM    1/11-3/14    Fee: $195    Class #400
This class will explore the expressive possibilities of monotypes: the one-of-a-kind print. We will create spontaneous originial art by painting and drawing on plexiglass plates then transferring the image to paper using the etching press. Additive and subtractive inking methods using brushes and brayers will be explored as well as the use of multiple printing plates. Students will learn how to combine these techniques with alternative printmaking processes such as printing hand drawn and photocopied images onto fine art papers. Students will create unique one-of-a-kind prints by inking and transferring their images to paper using the etching press. Photographic images can also be printed beautifully using this form of printmaking. There will be opportunities to explore various techiques from printing multi-color images to printing from large scale photocopies. Students will be encouraged to experiment and create original prints using multiple techniques throughout the class. Beginners welcome, as well as those with experience. Each student will receive individual attention at his or her own level. A $15 materials fee is payable to the instructor at the first class.
