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.

Oil and Water: Collagraph, Stencils & Monoprint
Sue Oehme
Tuition $1,160
Code R0908-24
This versatile and dynamic monoprint workshop utilizes both water-based and oil-based media, printing from collagraph plates and stencils. Participants create textured plates by building up varied surfaces with acrylic mediums, along with using more traditional drypoint Plexiglass plates combined with collage materials and Duralar stencil shapes. These inspiring techniques work well with both abstract and representational imagery, adding new methods and visual effects to the printmaking practice. Each student is guided individually by the instructor, as well as offered group demos daily.

Intaglio: Visual Fundamentals and Line
Koichi Yamamoto
Tuition $1,160
Code R1009-24
Investigate fundamental visual elements in this printmaking course, which include drypoint, engraving, and etching on copper. Understanding the various qualities of lines possible in intaglio is an essential part of building dynamic drawings and compositions. Students experiment with the fast, dynamic, and expressive gestural marks used in drypoint and the slow, precise lines required for engravings and dots. The workshop begins by covering drypoint techniques that are later translated to copper engraving using a burin and etchings. Additionally, the history of etching is introduced, as well as technical demos including chine-collé and à la poupée.

Pixel to Print: Screen Printing with Photographic Imagery
Adriana Barrios
Tuition $1,160
Code R1110-24
Students use original photographic imagery as source material to create multi-layered and dynamic screen prints. Participants learn step-by-step details of the screen printing process including screen preparation (exposing and washing), halftone transparency creation, registration, and printing. Additional layering methods include exploratory paper dyeing techniques, flocking, and hand-generated transparencies. The goal of this class is to push the possibilities of screen printing, transforming photographic images into multi-layered dynamic prints. Students leave the class with a foundational understanding of the screen print process and a collection of unique prints.
