In this course students extend their technical and theoretical skills in planographic printing (screenprinting and lithography) via set projects and conceptual prompts. Students apply these skills to critically examine printmedia's key position in contemporary art. Studio projects explore the material possibilities of print, through colour, halftone and autographic mark making. In so doing, students can connect histories of print to specific visual effects and form. By reflecting on and experimenting with these forms and lineages, students will create work that uses print in context and dialogue with contemporary art. Students may complete this course twice for a maximum credit value of 12 units, provided they enrol in a different topic in each instance/semester. Please note that the course content, assessment structure, and reading list will change depending on the topic and the expertise of the lecturer convening the course. Please refer to the class summary for the specific term in which you wish to enrol for a detailed description. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: - Fashioning with Print This course explores the role of printmaking (screenprinting and/or lithography) in contemporary practice. Technical and conceptual skills developed in ARTV1751 will be extended by critically engaging with print operations specific to chosen mediums and in context to print histories of transmission, amplification and reproduction. Through studio investigations, lectures and group discussion, students will fashion printed works which critically and creatively engage with processes that connect and underpin contemporary visual culture. - Proliferation in Print

Other Information School of Art & Design studio courses have a limited enrolment capacity. Students are advised to enrol as early as possible to maximise the opportunity of securing a place. This course will have a Materials Fee. At the ANU School of Art & Design, each workshop sources appropriate specialist materials, which are made available to students to facilitate their working effectively, efficiently and safely within our programs. The School of Art & Design is able to supply materials that don’t compromise ANU obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS), and that have been assessed as suitable for each course. The Materials Fee is payable for the School of Art & Design to supply consumables and materials that become your physical property. You can choose to pay the Materials Fee and have these materials supplied to you through the School of Art & Design, allowing you to take advantage of the GST-free bulk purchasing power of the ANU. These materials are also WHS compliant. The exact cost of the Materials Fee will be updated in the Class Summary for each semester in which the course is offered.
