In his multi-media practice, Yashua Klos explores themes of identity, memory, and African Americans’ relationship to American labor. His large-scale works are created from the intricate formation of woodblock prints, representing ideas of Blackness through multi-dimensional, fragmented portraits.

Woodblock: Carving and Printing at a Large Scale
Yashua Klos
Tuition $1,250
Code R0909-26
Explore the process of translating imagery into the dynamic mark-making intrinsic to the medium of woodblock printmaking and collage. We embark on combining elements of woodblock printmaking, drawing, cut paper, and other collage materials to produce complex and compelling imagery. Students add to their practice with a whole new toolbox of methods as well as new conceptual approaches to the woodblock medium. While the primary tenets of traditional block printing are covered, printmaking operates as a means to facilitate the student’s concept. Students gain knowledge of the fundamentals of woodblock printmaking: carving, reproduction, registration, inking, etc. and various collage applications to produce a multilayered surface.
