Investigational Monoprint: laser-engraved plexiglass plates
Susan Belau
Tuition $995
Code R1211-21
This multi-layered workshop combines the immediacy of traditional monoprint processes with digital technology through laser-cut and laser-engraved plexiglass plates. Students create a dynamic series of multi-layered prints that explore a range of image, color, format and texture. Monoprint plates are transformed using equipment in Anderson Ranch Art Center’s Digital Fabrication Lab (“FabLab”) and are then printed and added to in the Patton Print Shop. This exciting combination of techniques allows students to experiment with elements ranging from the painterly brush stroke of monotype to photographic halftones, shaped plates, digital drawings, precise pattern and text.
No workshops to show.
