Since the development of the Gutenberg Press the world has been described by the printed image on paper. In this course students extend their knowledge of intaglio and relief printing. Students will explore individual areas of interest by experimenting with materials and processes whilst investigating historical and contemporary art practices and concepts relevant to their project. Work health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral component of this course.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and the skills to:

1. demonstrate an understanding of a range of techniques and processes relevant to intaglio and relief printing in response to set tasks;
2. independently explore the potential of material/s relevant to intaglio and relief printing;
3. experiment with the application of concepts and processes relevant to intaglio and relief printing; and
4. critically engage with historical and theoretical contexts relevant to intaglio and relief printing.

Research-Led Teaching

Dr Deidre Brollo's research and practice seeks to situate printmaking within the broader historical and social frameworks of print culture. In so doing, it seeks to interrogate the print with reference to its logic, agency and cultural operations.

This focus on the agency of the printed image (and the technology that produces and reproduces it) provides a means to investigate the vernaculars of mark-making that are specific to print, and to explore how these print languages can be understood and employed within contemporary art practice.

Field Trips

Occasional field trips may be scheduled throughout the semester.
