Digital and Traditional Routes

Jan Vermeer The Art of Painting

c. 1666-73; Oil on canvas, 130 x 110 cm; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

Hi

I want to recommend a class in SAIC which I am taking in this semester.

I think this class is related with our class, 'Photography into Painting'.

The name of class is "Digital and Traditional Routes" in Print department.

This is a first sentence of Digital and Traditional Routes's syllabus.

Where traditional boundaries between media have all but disappeared, high quality digital

printing and non-toxic screen printing and transfer techniques have made it possible for artists to

combine, digital imagery, photographs, and mechanical reproduction with painting. This course

combines printmedia’s imaging processes with studio painting to create hybrid works complex in

form and content. Technical demonstrations and critical discussion will drive independent projects

that redefine the parameters of contemporary print and painting studio practice.

We learn various techniques;

1. photo-screen, exposing, processing, and mono-typing

2. transfer processes

3. printing on panels and canvas, mounting paper to panels

4. acrylic paints and mediums, making paint and ink, sealers, overprint and UV varnish.

-syllabus-

The instructors' name are George and Dough.

They are really nice.

Even if I took print class at the first time, I could learn diverse techniques very easily

because we have a demo almost every week.

Thus we can learn technically how to make artworks

which are related with Photography and Painting.

Also we can see specific materials for screen printings, photo-screen, painting, etc.

If you interested in making somethings which are related with images of photographs and paintings, you should check out this class!

thanks
