Imitation

Graphics has been the imitation`s and multiplying`s medium. Like a chameleon it has taken up the expressions of drawing, painting and photography. We will look at new and old examples of works and artists who relate to this thematic structure. Furthermore we give an introduction course in digital repro, silk screen printing and intaglio printing to give the students the necessary tool to be able to operate in this field.

WORKSHOP WEEK 45 (3 days, digital repro)

Lecturer:To be announced

How do we take a drawn, painted or photographic original and transform it into graphics?

During the 3 days the student will learn how to prepare digital files for (repro) film material for further use in the silk, offset and intaglio printing process?

WORKSHOP WEEK 46 (silk printing)

WORKSHOP WEEK 48 (intaglio printing)

In both of these introductions, emphasis will be put on work with indirect methods, that is, the work that is going to be printed ( silk, intaglio) first have to be created via another medium (drawing, painting or photography).

It is important that the student is conscious of her own point of view in relation to graphics imitating characteristics through one or more concrete projects.
The presentation of this (these) projects in plenary in the stage of idea/sketch will form the basis for the further progression under this period.

The course is mandatory for first year students studying Graphics at Dept of Specialised Art. Students from other studies need no special previous knowledge to attend the course. For such students it will also be possible (by appointment with main tutor) to participate in parts of the course, e.g. the technical introductions/workshops. However we do recommend to participate during the whole period to get the best possible result and understanding of both technique and thematic structure.
