Objectives

Know and test the practice of Printmaking with an emphasis on learning basic aspects of its key technology,
Identify the technological possibilities in the sense of autonomy and their possible connection with the areas of training core
Develop a solid learning methods of attending a workshop production in an accountability on the use of a collective space
Explore the plastic language of each technique
Apply knowledge and increasing technical skills to develop projects to address the self-publishing

Program

Introduction to fundamental technical assumptions of printing, from insightful demonstrations and subsequent testing with tests of individual or collective nature.

The presentations provide a theoretical and practical identification of technological components (substrates, means, methods, practices) with the identification of the most appropriate and possible variants for the different printing processes (relief printing, chalcography, silkscreen). The understanding of artistic possibilities and application is always carried out using a practical test that points methods, materials, problems, solutions in the context of a tradition and highly specialized professional workshop.

The approach to the multiplicity of procedures embedded in the tradition of these technologies is accomplished through the workshop exercise to initiation practices and technical procedures through the consolidation of multiple realization of art in individual and collective projects.
