Mono Matrix: digital & analog
Jul 26 - 30, 2021
9AM-5PM
Concept
Playfully and dynamically integrate the digitally-fabricated with hand-generated matrices to create one-of-a-kind prints. Primarily using monotype and relief methods, students make layered prints using access to Anderson Ranch Art Center’s Digital Fabrication Lab (“FabLab”) and the Patton Print Shop. In conjunction with making a range of stencils and blocks in the lab, students focus on graphic and painterly layering and experimentation in the printmaking studio. Digital and analog processes are demonstrated and integrated to support expansive possibilities and to broaden the scope of one’s imagery.
Media
Engraved woodblocks, cut paper stencils and hand-drawn matrices. Basic Photoshop skills are necessary.
