Contemporary art making
has been profoundly impacted by new digital
technologies. This course focuses on
how digital print media informs and evolves
visual language for artistic expression.
Providing each participant with a hands-on
opportunity to explore large-format digital
printing technologies, it is designed
to help create a context in which to
ask questions about the nature of dynamic
media relative to the making of contemporary
printed images. Artists will consider
multiples, sequencing, mark-making, notation,
gesture, and narrative concerns within
both digital media and traditional printmaking.
Further experimentation across media
will be investigated. These media may
include: drawing, painting, photography,
video, animation, multi-media and internet
interfaces. Participants will be able
to experiment with printing on a variety
of handmade papers (up to 36"x 48")
using eight color, permanent ink, large-format,
ink jet technology. The course welcomes
artists with beginning and advanced technological
experience.
