This course introduces students to the first form of printmaking in which elements of a “block,” in this case a block of wood covered with a layer of linoleum (yes, like the flooring), is carved away leaving an image in relief. These high spots are inked and then printed onto paper. Students will explore the historical stylistic possibilities in the medium as they gain the carving and printing skills necessary to begin to create their own styles of print. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisite: ARTS 1103 or permission of the instructor. (AE)
