Description
This Foundations course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the basic Principles and Elements of Design and Composition using a variety of Printmaking techniques. The term Evidence is reflective of the use of different matrices to create an original range of marks that are then inked and printed onto a substrate, such as paper. Topics such as unity and variety, balance, scale, proportion, and emphasis, as well as line, shape, value, and texture are addressed through thematic assignments using monoprints, collagraphs, and relief prints.
