ART 5307 - Print Media: To Publish is to Make Publics

Fall or Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading (no audit).

Co-meets with ART 3307.

J. Delos Reyes, P. Ramírez Jonas.

This class will explore the potential of printed media to bridge the gap between public and private modes of address. This course will integrate theory, history and practice. On the production side, we will learn how to use a Risograph printer to make high volume editions and book binding techniques. On the historical side, we will study histories of printmaking as they relate to social and political movements. On the theoretical side, the course will be contextualized through readings that will expand our understanding of what we mean by public, private and circulation. This course welcomes all and any student regardless of their previous print or image making experience.
