Pressed Drawing

This course is an exploration of drawing and mark-making through the versatile method of monotype. By directly drawing or painting on a plate that is then printed, students create imagery with a great deal of spontaneity. The course includes direct-trace drawing and additive and subtractive studies as well as chine colle (a process of pasting/collaging other papers into the print). Instruction includes lectures, visual lectures, technical demonstrations, and critiques.
