Using the City of Detroit as its inspiration, students will employ various research methodologies as a
starting point for creating prints. Projects will be approached through one of three perspectives:
experiential, historical and political. Techniques introduced will include relief printing, laser cutting,
print from found objects and silkscreen. Students will print both with and without a press to create
limited edition prints as well as DIY or on-the-cheap multiples using commercial print
processes. Those students who have taken Intro to Printmaking or have prior college level
printmaking experience will be encouraged to build on techniques they’ve already learned to develop
their own creative voice.
