ARTS 335 Etching

In this course, you will explore a wide range of materials and techniques used to create the linear, tonal, and photographic images of the intaglio print. Basic techniques cover line etching for precise linework, drypoint for velvety and textured lines, soft ground for both crayon-like lines and textures, aquatint for tones, and lift grounds for the quality of watercolor. Inking techniques include black-and-white and color intaglio, and may include others such as à la poupée, stenciling, and chine collé for added color and texture. All processes will be discussed and demonstrated, along with photo etching techniques. You may be producing monoprints, collagraphs, and/or carborundum prints.
