ART 3741 - Print Media, Advocacy & Activism in Contemporary Practice (3)

Printmaking is an agent of propaganda.  The ability to create, reproduce and disseminate text and images is not only a fundamental but necessary part of the human experience.  In this course, we will examine the history and evolution of print media and its role in promoting social awareness, advocacy and activism through visual communication.  Students will create work in the form of editioned prints, broadsides, posters, shirts, books, pamphlets and wheat paste campaigns as a way to promote and express their individual identities and voices.  Media and topics explored include instructor-led demonstrations in screen printing, lithography, letterpress, and block printing that students can implement to create a body of work in response to their research into topics such as ecology, environmentalism, human rights, etc. May be repeated for a maximum of 12 semester hours. Prerequisite(s): ART 2710 . Fall, Spring.
