Course description:
Uncovering is a practical printmaking lithography course. The course focuses on exploring the possibilities of the print culture phenomenon, i.e. the possibilities of stone lithography. Lithography is one of the greatest artistic printmaking adventures of our times. The theme of the course is Uncovering. Lithography is a particularly auspicious form of creative expression, encompassing a wide variety of expressive forms: an expressive drawing method, a watercolor like treatment of color, the drawing of miniatures, the raster offset printing, the art of ink etc. During the course the participants will be introduced to the specifics of the planography print: stone and offset lithography, zinc plate lithography, also polyester lithography and mixed media; and its main technological image creation principles that separate it from other graphic printing methods. The students will be encouraged to use the plentiful and unique plastic expression opportunities offered by stone lithography. During the printmaking process the students will be encouraged to experiment and use common as well as non-traditional means of lithographic image creation and search for their own individual artistic style.
