Lithography is one of the most subtle and direct methods of printmaking. An artist can draw with pencil, crayon or liquid tusche directly on aluminum plates or limestone as well as transfer images from photographs and digital files to photographic plates. Artwork can be printed in black ink or hand-mixed colors. The use of multiple transparent colors can yield rich overlays and complex color notes when the plate is printed. All aspects of proofing and editioning fine art lithographs will be demonstrated in class. A trip to a professional lithography studio will be included.

Using new technologies in printing, such as photo-lithography and photo-polymer plates on the fine-art lithography press will be the focus of this course. We will explore the potential of printing large images for both flat and shallow relief processes in Photoshop and Illustrator. Students will work in a digital lab to create special negative and positive films with the latest technologies. We will then make plates from these films in order to handprint saturated color inks on handmade and oriental papers. The goal is to create a visual merging of traditional and digital technologies and to have tactile output for our computer musings.

Japanese Woodblock Printing

  • Cost 470.00

  • Status Open
  • Location 133/141 West 21st Street

Description

The Edo period of Japan was from 1600 to 1860. During this period the Japanese cut off all diplomatic ties with the rest of the western world. As a result of their isolation, the artists and artisans of Japan developed a new and unique way of printing called "moku hanga" (wood printing), which produced an art movement called "Ukiyoe." When these brightly colored prints reached Europe they had a profound affect on western art and culture. The techniques of this printmaking process differ from western printmaking processes because it is entirely water based and non-toxic, similar to a printed watercolor. Students in this class will experience different techniques of printing and be encouraged to create their own art in this medium. Additionally there will be a variety of demonstration on carving, tool sharpening and color printing techniques. This medium of printmaking can also be easily and safely done in your own home with a small variety of hand tools.

Description

This course will explore the richness and graphic qualities of monoprint, linocut and woodcut. These various techniques share a direct method of working, from carving surfaces to painting and drawing images. The use of line, shape and contrast will be emphasized through work in linoleum and woodcut printing. Images will be carved into the block, the surface inked and transferred to paper. Color will be applied using the separation techniques of reduction printing and color overprinting. Monoprints begin with drawing and painting directly on blank plates and transferring the result to paper. Every monoprint created is unique, resulting in large, direct, painterly prints. The different ways of applying color in this technique will be fully explored including color overlays, overprinting and stencil techniques. All processes will be demonstrated and applied through printing sessions and critiques.

The image can range from hard edge to feathered and painterly, and the relief impression adds a third dimension. Operation and maintenance of different kinds of letterpress is included. Sessions begin with a demonstration followed by studio time to work on projects that range from type-based graphic designs to fine art limited editions.

Description

This course is geared toward fine artists, illustrators, graphic designers and emerging fashion designers. Various methods of printing on fabric (from silkscreen to block printing and stencils), step-and-repeat color separation used for bolts of fabric and "engineered" images for pre-made piece goods such as jackets, hats and patches will be demonstrated. Students will use textile inks that are permanent and washable for professional results. Print on canvas, T-shirts or totes, or start your own T-shirt business and know what to buy and where to buy it.

Digital Embroidery

Course Details
  • Course Number FIC-3821-A
  • Day(s) W
  • Dates Jun 12 - Aug 14
  • Hours 06:00PM - 10:00PM
  • Ceus 3.50
  • Cost 470.00
  • Additional Fees 145.00
  • Status Open
  • Location To Be Announced

Description

Digital embroidery transforms handcrafted couture into a fine arts medium. Just like a tattoo, where an image is created with color and needles, the embroidered fabric or paper is needle-stitched in colored threads. The image is a sewing file that can be saved and re-sewn as a multiple or repeat pattern. Working on a designer Husqvarna Viking sewing machine with oversize hoops, students will use Husqvarna Viking 5D embroidery software to sew out their original designs. Techniques related to both fashion and the fine arts will be explored.
