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. (Syllabus); origin and development of printing techniques in contemporary specific contexts of a practical workshop (workshops, producers, spread) (Identification of means of production and media related to traditional contexts) paints, cleaning and dyeing papers and media presses, presses and other printing equipment printing procedures (steps) Technical introduction relief printing, woodcut and linocuts.

Calculation formula of final grade

The evaluation focuses on the observation of each student's performance against the objectives of the program and before the result against the exercises. These are inserted in: Collective project of editing, accompanied by a documentary record suitable for subsequent dissemination. Experimental practice maintained in parallel. Individual project. It is also considered the following parameters: Attendance and monitoring of all organized demonstrations Ability to work and make the most of available space workshop Involvement with the practice of printmaking workshop, Organization and systematization of work Ability to contextualize and positioning of graphic production within a contemporary art practice.
