In printmaking, working large is a challenge no matter how many years you have been working at it. Taking advantage of the two-week length of this class students will be challenged to make a large woodblock print designed in response to intense observation/looking. Whether you choose to study a figure, a landscape, or a still life the wood will impose its own challenges and richness. Artists will do quick daily woodblock sketches—looking, carving and printing—as you build up your ideas for a final large print. What will it mean to “scale up?” Students will choose to work in one color or several and print by hand or on the presses.
