Screenprinting is a direct printmaking technique that builds images from layers of color and can be used to create everything from custom silkscreened T-shirts to one-of-a-kind posters and fine art prints. In this class, students will explore photographic, computer-generated, hand-drawn, and painted stencil techniques in order to complete a portfolio of editioned and non-editioned prints.

The goal of this class is to provide students with the skills and tools necessary to express themselves as painters of the landscape.

Students in the class will begin by learning insights into how to approach the landscape to find a compelling composition. Students will then work from a limited color palette in order to maintain spontaneity and to capture the fugitive nature of landscape elements, such as light and movement.
