ART242 Digital Imaging: Etching*

1 semester, 3 credits (Fine Arts Core)

This course will use the computer and drawing to produce full color images in a traditional print medium, intaglio etching. Through a series of lecture demonstrations, there will be an introduction to hands-on drawing experience, plate preparation, and Photoshop visual imaging software. A non-toxic photographic system will be used to translate and extend the imagery created on the computer. This course will be concerned with the interaction of digital and drawn visual vocabulary. This course provides instruction in drawing, so previous drawing experience is not required. Experience with Photoshop is not required, although some computer literacy would be useful.

ART243 Digital Imaging: Screenprinting*

1 semester, 3 credits (Fine Arts Core)

This course will be an introduction to hands-on drawing experience and Photoshop visual imaging software. Through a series of lecture demonstrations, the computer and drawing will be used to explore full-color images in screenprinting. As in ART 242, experience in drawing or Photoshop is not required, although some computer literacy would be helpful.
