COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Explore more thoroughly the techniques of making screenprints learned

   in Art 27A.

2.  Continue to use a variety of stencil methods, from the most direct to

   the highly technical.

3.  Create fine art prints which reflect a more personal vision and a

   higher level of technical competence.

4.  Explore more challenging levels of image making requiring greater

   skills and sophistication over a more sustained period of time.

5.  Exemplify, to the beginning level students, the proper and safe use of

   printmaking materials and tools.

6.  Use the vocabulary of printmaking terms and demonstrate an

   understanding of their meaning.

7.  Use creative thinking skills at a higher level and continue to

   exercise aesthetic judgments inherent to the visual arts.

8.  Sharpen one's aesthetic criticism and demonstrate a greater under-

   standing of form, color and composition.

9.  Investsigate the poster as form of visual communication and vehicle

   for personal expression.

Topics and Scope

This course will build on the technical foundation established in the

first semester of silkscreen printmaking.  Again, the emphasis will be on

the creative uses of this process for the making of prints.  The in-

structor will work with the individual students in helping them to develop

projects that extend stencil techniques and image-making processes ex-

plored in the first semester.

Students will be encouraged to focus on a specific aspect of silkscreen

printmaking that holds a special interest for them.  Subject matter, size,

stencil processes, number of runs, etc., for their prints will be reviewed

on an individual basis.  Depending upon complexity, second semester silk-

screen students will be expected to produce approximatley six finished

prints by the end of the semester for three units of credit.

Assignments:

Below are some of the suggested processes and concepts students will be

asked to choose from.  Other projects, not listed here, will also be con-

sidered.  The subject matter for these assignments may involve self-

portrait, landscape, still life, the figure, as well as non-objective

forms.

1.  Photographic posterization.

2.  Photostencil/progressive blockout combined.

3.  Photographic image restructured/rearranged.

4.  Full-color separations made by hand.

5.  Halftone dotand photo mechanical tonal process.

6.  Mechanical dot and pattern structures to develop pattern.

7.  Multi-registration or shifting registration overlaps.

8.  Oil pastel and hand application of color through stencils.

9.  Mixed-media combinations, hand coloring, collage, other printmaking

   process.

10. Geometric forms and patterns - multiple hand-cut films.

11. Color as content-color interaction/relativity-Josef Albers, et al.

12. Modular or repeated form/image building, tiling.

13. Sequential or serial imagery.

14. Thematic variation of a subject.

15. Color transparency overlaps to build an image.

16. The print as a 3-dimensional object (shaped, folded, combined).

17. The print made into a book format.

18. The poster as a fine art print.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 40 - 60%
Homework problems
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 10 - 30%
Class performances, PORTFOLIO
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 0 - 0%
None
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 10 - 30%
A PORTFOLIO OF COMPLETED WORK WILL BE MAJOR BASIS FOR COURSE GRADE.OTHER FACTORS:ATTENDANCE, EFFORT, GROWTH, AND CLASS PARTICIPATION.
