Print Foundations (1319QCA)

The relationship between paper, printmaking and books has been one of the most productive and varied in human histories. With the consistent supply of a new substrate, paper, on which the first mechanically printed books were printed, artists began experimenting with prints and have since generated a rich history of artists making prints. This history includes the substrates to which we print such as the walls of the Leang Jarie cave in Sulawesi and the Altamira cave in Spain. The handprints in both these caves are examples of relief prints that transport us back thousands of years in time to the moment when they were first printed. This course provides students a foundational understanding of the print making process and introduces them to the essential processes of making relief prints, on paper, for a book.
