Unit details [FSR]
Printmaking 1
Enrolment code: FSR110
Offered: Hbt: (fy) ie sem 1 & 2
Special note: enrolment restrictions may apply
Unit description:
Students learn the basic techniques of printmaking as a means of personal expression. A
range of traditional media are explored including non-toxic printmaking approaches. The
unit is divided into three sections over the two semesters of study. Initially there is a
period of settling in to the Print room environment and a ‘coming to terms’ with the
graphic image. As a starting point, issues dealing with ‘the portrait’ are addressed both
visually and theoretically. Students are then expected to select/develop a theme which
will provide the basis for their study of the various techniques. Progress in visual
investigations and the realisation of a theme are major factors in the assessment of the
students’ performance. Technical achievement is judged against these and not as an end in
itself. The work is monitored on a one-to-one basis and by group critiques. It is important
for students to establish a journal that will record their investigations throughout the year
and provide a reference for staff in the review/assessment process. Ideas, essays, source
material and technical information should be included in the document.
Studio theory addresses specific concerns related to the media investigated.

critiques. The theme is developed as a cohesive body of prints in book form. Staff present
workshops in a range of printmaking media. In studio theory, staff present a visual and
theoretical survey of 19th and 20th-century printmaking.
In semester 2, students develop a theme of their own choosing, using the media in which
they have started to develop expertise. In studio theory, students present seminars
addressing issues relating to their own theme.
Throughout the year workshops are conducted dealing in photographic processes, book
binding and other applications.
