CATALOG DESCRIPTION -- The catalog description should clearly describe for students the scope of the course, its level, and what
kinds of student goals the course is designed to fulfill. The catalog description should begin with a sentence fragment.
An intermediate level course that expands upon the concepts, skills and expressive potential of printmaking in
various media and techniques, including monotype, intaglio, serigraphy, and relief. Students will further
develop their visual literacy in the use of composition, value, ink mixing and application.
Special notes or advisories (e.g. field trips required, prior admission to special program required, etc.):
PREREQUISITE COURSE(S)
No
Yes
Course(s): Art 46
Rationale for Prerequisite:
Describe representative skills without which the student would be highly unlikely to succeed. Students should have a
working familiarity with at least two of the four basic printmaking processes introduced in Art 46 (intaglio,
relief, serigraphy, planographic)
COREQUISITE COURSE(S)

RECOMMENDED PREPARATION
No
Yes
Course(s): Art 10 or 17
Rationale for Recommended Preparation:
Art 48 Printmaking assumes the student is conversant in design and drawing techniques such as rendering,
shading, mixing colors from primaries as presented in Art 10 and 17
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES –This section answers the question “what will students be able to do as a result of
taking this course?” State some of the objectives in terms of specific, measurable student actions (e.g. discuss, identify,
describe, analyze, construct, compare, compose, display, report, select, etc.). For a more complete list of outcome verbs please
see Public Folders>Curriculum>Help Folder>SLO Language Chart. Each outcome should be numbered.
1. Demonstrate intermediate level skill competency( mixing ink, applying ink ,preparing plates and screens,
printing plates, blocks and screens)with a variety of printmaking techniques to include planographic, intaglio,
serigraphy, embossing and relief.
2. Describe verbally and utilize the elements of art and design as they apply to printmaking (elements such as
process color, value, composition, actual and inventive texture, balance etc.).
3. Analyze and address effectively the challenges and solutions associated with traditional & non-traditional
subject matter in printmaking to include landscape, still life, figure, abstract and non-objective imagemaking.
4. Research and integrate how the above concepts operate within historical, contemporary and multicultural
contexts.
5.Develop professional practices including archival production and storage of works on paper, preparing a
portfolio and present work for grading and critique.
6. Utilize new and alternative technologies in development of hybrid and mixed media printmaking images.
COURSE CONTENT –This section describes what the course is “about”—i.e. what it covers and what knowledge students
will acquire. Each item should be numbered.
Concepts: What terms and ideas will students need to understand and be conversant with as they demonstrate course outcomes?
1. The equipment and materials for printmaking (including presses, screens, blocks chemistry, inks, papers,
hand tools, brushes, etc.).
2. Principles of visual organization (including unity, balance, focal point, and negative space).
3. Elements of art (including value, line, texture, color, shape).
4. Digital/new media/conceptual imagery.
5. Techniques for manipulating surfaces, resists and inks.
6. Origins of historical techniques such as wood block prints, etchings, and lithos.
7. The emotive characteristics and cultural contexts of all of these concepts.
Issues: What primary tensions or problems inherent in the subject matter of the course will students engage?
1. The history of printmaking as a vehicle for political statement
2. The intervention of feminist, queer, and multicultural theories within regional, national, and global art
practices.
3. The intervention of electronic and other technologies within regional, national, and global art practices.
4. The dialectic between historical/traditional and contemporary/experimental issues in current art practices.
5.Awareness and implementation of environmentally sound and safe studio practices in printmaking
Themes: What motifs, if any, are threaded throughout the course?
1.Research and experimentation with process to include electronic processing of images (xerox and ink jet).
2. Research and experimentation with materials and mixed media to include both oil and water-based inks
and non-paper substrates.
3. Selection and analysis of subject matter to include serial and sequential themes.
4. Awareness and integration of personal and iconographic elements in art making.
5. Organization of ideas, materials, tools, and working methods to proceed with work in a timely manner.

6. Craftsmanship
7. Awareness and implementation of environmentally sound and safe practices in printmaking.
Skills: What abilities must students have in order to demonstrate course outcomes? (E.g. write clearly, use a scientific calculator,
read college-level texts, create a field notebook, safely use power tools, etc.)
1. Select a subject and edit it ( remove unnecessary elements, balance value patterns with sketches and
thumbnails) to proceed with a printed image.
2. Mix and apply colors with a variety of media in consideration of harmony and contrast as well as media
characteristics (viscosity, drying time, saturation, transparency, opacity etc) in both oil and water-based inks.
3. Work on progressively more challenging media (woodcut vs linocut, lithograph vs monotype, aquatint vs
line etching) to achieve compositional and thematic resolution.
4. Work successfully with a variety of tools (brushes, etching needles, gouges, litho crayons etc) to
demonstrate intermediate level or greater proficiency in media and mark making
5. Speak and/or write clearly about works of art (both student and professional) in terms of technique,
content and context.
6. Actively engage in the art community with critique, exhibition of art work, visits to galleries and museums,
and contribute to the cultural fabric of their community.
REPRESENTATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES –This section provides examples of things students may do to engage the
course content (e.g., listening to lectures, participating in discussions and/or group activities, attending a field trip). These
activities should relate directly to the Course Learning Outcomes.
1. Performing in-class laboratory assignments
2. Completing homework assignments
3. Preparing portfolios of artworks
4. Reading assigned essays/articles
5. Participating in lecture/discussion activities
6. Participating in demonstration activities
7. Participating in regularly scheduled group critiques
8. Participating in one-on-one discussions and critiques
9. Participating in fieldtrips to museums and galleries
10. Participating in community art activities including exhibitions, lectures, openings, fund raising events for
the arts and through the arts
ASSESSMENT TASKS –This section describes assessments instructors may use to allow students opportunities to provide
evidence of achieving the Course Learning Outcomes.
Representative assessment tasks (These are examples of assessments instructors could use):
1. Periodic evaluations of assignments to assess the technical skill development and conceptual
comprehension of the skills, themes, and concepts presented in class.
2. Discussions to assess students' verbal communication and conceptual comprehension of the skills, themes
and concepts presented in class.
3. Quizzes on vocabulary
4. Assigned readings
Required assessments for all sections (These are assessments that are required of all instructors of all sections at all
campuses/sites. Not all courses will have required assessments. Do not list here assessments that are listed as representative assessments
above.): 1. Regularly scheduled portfolio reviews of all in-class laboratory work and homework for grading.
2. Regularly scheduled critiques and group discussions
