This course will cover printmaking processes including silkscreen, polyester lithography and relief to create works on paper concerning the built environment. Specifically, through field trips in and around the city, students will document and respond to the cycle of development and razing that characterizes the city of St. Louis. The goal is to learn more about the urban environment and our relationship to it. Defining the influence of constructed spaces on community and individuality through the multiple and collaboration are a key part of this class. A thorough exploration of the city´s past, present and possible future through personal research, lectures and studio practice will give students the foundation to create projects responding to their experience of the city. St. Louis is just the starting point: Students are encouraged to bring their own experiences with the built environment of their choice to the table. This course serves as an introduction to printmaking techniques and practice.
This is what happens when I let you all loose in the city.
