Using a combination of found matrices, simple relief printing, and collage techniques, students will develop a visual language based on indexical marks. Collagraph printing provides a unique opportunity to examine the textures and traces that are ubiquitous in the world around us and combine them with a pre-existing visual language. This class will have an emphasis on using recycled and found materials that relate to translating a site and environment. Students will experiment with various collagraph techniques and multi-plate printing.
