Printmaking: Lithography

Explore lithography, a fine art printing process that uses oil drawings or transfers on large stone slabs and metal plates. Lithographs have been used both in fine art and for printing graphics commercially, from the 19th century until today. Practice both stone- and plate-lithography, creating editions of prints in both black and white and color. Use multiple plates to blend colors and develop rich, complex images. Finish class with a portfolio of lithographic prints and the ability to analyze and critique fine art prints technically and aesthetically. Open to students of all levels.
