Course aim

In rudimentary steps and with simple resources, we will seek, find and develop solutions in graphic art. The motto of the course is: from idea to execution. For example, the drawing element can be developed, archival material or ideas already existing in digital form can be brought to paper by means of various printing processes. Basically, students are free to experiment in and with all conceivable printing processes and techniques.

Besides individual questions on modern printing techniques, the course will focus on acquiring knowledge of historical printing processes, particularly on Italian, German and Dutch graphic arts in the 15th and 16th centuries. Students will be encouraged to participate in artistic and technical dialogue, exchanging individual ideas with teachers and within the group.
