  • HER-G 305 Photo Processes for Printmaking I (3 cr.) P: G201-G202, K201-K202, and/or permission of the instructor. C: Enrollment in a 300-, 400-, or 500-level printmaking course. Introduction to the use of light-sensitive materials in printmaking processes. Involvement with nonsilver photographic processes such as kallitype, photoetching, photo-lithography (using halftone and contact materials), photo silkscreen, and gum printing. Color separation principles for printmaking processes.

  • HER-G 307 Silkscreen Printing II (3 cr.) P: Foundation Program. The advanced process of silkscreen printing with the incorporation of digital printing processes. Printing in large format with color will be covered. Further Development of ideas and concepts in relation to the screenprinting process will be emphasized in this class.
  • HER-G 309 Monotype/Woodcut II (3 cr.) P: G205. Advanced study of monotype techniques, both traditional and nontraditional. Emphasis is placed on students gaining control of monotype process in order to accurately express their artistic vision. Students are encouraged to explore their individual goals and research into the various media available.
