Drawing, Painting and Printing
with John Murphy-Woolford
This course invites students to investigate the creative links between three disciplines; painting, printmaking and drawing.
We will learn how line drawing can translate into monotype line prints, how tone charcoal drawings can be turned into collagraph prints and how these different visual languages can help to guide paintings or be made as a response to paintings.
If you would like to gain experience making collagraph prints and monotype line prints from your drawings and paintings, or would like to plan your painting using drawings and prints, this is the class for you.
If you have no particular project in mind, no problem. There will always be a project proposal for you to engage with in class.
