Introduction to Etching

This course will examine the methods and materials of etching. Projects presented in class will introduce students to the breadth of the etching process. Techniques such as dry point, hard ground, soft ground and aquatint will be explored. A series of small editions will be made with each medium. The class will expand the student’s approach and understanding of aesthetics and technologies within contemporary printmaking and will instill safe and productive work habits for an ongoing studio practice. Work will be assessed with individual and group critique throughout the semester. Individual assignments may also be given to direct/affect personal research.
