What’s the class about? Course Description: This course concentrates on the technical as-pects of traditional printmaking processes: relief, silkscreen, lithogra-phy, monotypes, monoprints, and intaglio as medium of creative im-aging and expression. These concepts can range from the mundane to the sublime, including interpretations of physical reality and/or in-vented reality. In order to achieve these conceptual goals, students are expected to develop their formal design skills as well as their technical proficiency in the demonstrated applications of printmaking. Students will also incorporate software technology, like Adobe Photoshop, Illus-trator, and InDesign in the production of prints. Recognizing and ap-plying creative urges and impulses are paramount. Along with beauti-ful aesthetic qualities, printmaking can be exploited to generate and realize ideas. Catalog Description: Printmaking. (ARTS 2333) 3(2-4) An art studio course which explores various printmaking techniques, including planographic, intaglio, stencil and relief with emphasis on their expressive power. Studio fee, $10.

Following my exact directions, your work ethic and accountability to your work are what will

get you an excellent grade. Not following direc-tions and simply abiding by the minimum re-quirements in the syllabus is average, equaling to a letter grade of C. Your participation in critiques and demos is expected, (hone and refine the lan-guage of critiques), and efforts to improve your work, its quality and execution.

Requirements: completion of 4 proj-ects worth 25 points each, critiques demo participation, film screenings and written assignments are part of each project.

Project # 1:–worth 25ptsProject # 2:–worth 25 ptsProject # 3:–worth 25 ptsProject # 4:–worth 25 pts

PROJECTS ARE DUE ON SPECIFIED CALEN-DAR DATES. A FINISHED PROJECT IS READY FOR PRESENTATION AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS. INK MUST BE DRY! THERE IS NO MAKE UP OR EXTRA CREDIT WORK! LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED! If its late you get ZERO points! EACH FINISHED PROJECT MUST BE PLACED IN A PORTFOLIO AND TURNED IN ON THE DUE DATE. YOUR PORT-FOLIO MUST CONTAIN, YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME, SEMESTER AND YEAR.

Grading System: It is important to focus upon the objectives of each project. Grading revolves around an evaluation of each objective using the following scales:

A (25 PTS) Excellent work, exceeds objectives, very high in originality, extremely well-conceived and executeB (20 PTS) Good work, meets objectives well, is original, well-conceived and executed.C (15 PTS) Acceptable work, meets objectives, fairly well-conceived and executedD (10 PTS) Inferior work, basically complete, but falls short of objectives and needs work in terms of idea & executionF (5 PTS) Failing work, significantly incomplete, does not meet objectives and is poorly conceived and/or executed,

Student Learning Outcome: At the completion of this course, student’s success will be measured by: 1. Adaptation of printmaking skills learned 2. Understanding resources and materials 4. Consistent critical engagement 5. Strong and clear vocabulary in correlation to skills learned

Objectives: • Learn technical skills in order to generate prints by the student • Broaden artistic and conceptual knowledge through printmaking. • Incorporate new software technologies for the production of prints. • Evaluate conceptual ideas and productivity of prints • Implementing conceptual ideals through digital media. • Discuss the organization of an edition

Attendance Policy: You must be in class to complete the proj-ects so don’t miss class! Class role will be taken every class meet-ing. FIVE POINTS PER ABSENCE WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR FINAL GRADE. The stu-dent is expected to attend all classes and laboratory sessions. It is the responsibility of the stu-dent to inform the instructor of absences. When, however, in the judgment of the instructor, a student has been absent to such a degree as to impair his or her status relative to credit for the course, the instructor may drop the student from the class with a grade of “DP” or “DF”.

Drop Policy: Undergraduate Students Subject to Senate Bill 1231: Beginning with the 2007-2008 Academic Year, will be per-mitted only six (6) non-punitive drops during their undergradu-ate studies. Non-punitive grades included in the maximum num-ber of drops will be identified on the transcript with a grade of QI. Once a student has accumu-

lated 6 (six) QI grades, the only grade that may be awarded for a dropped course is a grade of QF, regardless of the student’s academic standing in the class. Drops processed while withdraw-ing from the university will not be included in the maximum num-ber of non-punitive drops.

Grievance Process: The general policy regarding a grievance is to grant an opportunity to ad-dress an issue one level above the person whose action is be-ing contested. The process may vary depending upon the area of concern but will generally involve several possible steps. The proce-dure utilized shall provide for a prompt and fair consideration of the complaint. If extenuating cir-cumstances prevent either party from meeting the time frame stipulated, all parties involved will confer and agree on an alternate schedule. Proceedings are not judicial trials and formal rules of evidence shall not apply, but evi-dence submitted must be materi-al and relevant to the issue under

consideration. Any person who brings a grievance has the bur-den of proof and must provide documentation and evidence to support the allegation.

Sexual Harassment: http://osa.tamuk.edu/studenthandbook/sexualharassments.htmlSexual harassment of students and em-ployees at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any member of the university community violat-ing this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. Please refer to the website at www.tamuk.edu/sass for the most current univer-sity policy on Sexual Harassment. This policy does not address the issues of sexual assault and/or physical violence. Incidents of this nature should be referred to the University Police Department or other appropriate law enforce-ment agency.

Mobile Device Use Policy: Keep your cell phones on you and on at all times, but limit use to EMER-GENCIES ONLY, specially campus

alters. If you receive a campus alert please proceed to inform me immediately. Limit all use of music, ear phone and other digi-tal/electronic devices to after lec-tures are done.

Disability Policy, Americans with Disabilities ActStudents with disabilities , includ-ing learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in class, should register with the Services for Students with Dis-abilities (SSD) Life Services and Wellness (361)-593-3991 early in the semester so that the ap-propriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal laws, students requesting special accommodations must provide documentation of their disabil-ity to the SSD coordinator.

The safe handling and use of all art media and tools is very important.• Please take notes during all demonstrations and lectures.• Please ask questions when you are unsure of anything.• Please report to me any safety concerns or questions you may have.

Environmental Notes: This is an environmentally friendly printmaking lab. By following strict guide-lines we assure minimal impact on health and planet. The goal is to maintain this practice and im-prove on it whenever possible. Our printmaking processes assure that hazardous materials do not enter our water system via sinks or waste disposal. It is the responsibility of every student to help maintain our standards for both legal and ethical reasons. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for all the materials we will use.

Using Common Sense in the Studio • Aquatint yourself with the studio environment.• Realize the studio is a shared space, used by many people.• Promote an atmosphere of mutual respect.• Always be alert. Be alert to what you are doing, and what others are doing.• Know procedures and follow directions.• Ask questions if you are unsure of anything.• Wear safety glasses, gloves and respirators when required. • Open toe shoes are not permitted in the lab

Using Equipment• Pay attention when using equipment.• Keep fingers, loose clothing and hair away from moving parts.• Use tools properly. Use the right tool for the job.• Ask for help when lifting heavy objects.

Using Solvents• Keep solvents and detergents in properly labeled containers.• Avoid splashing, squirting or spilling solvents and detergents.• Store soiled rags and paper towels in small red flammable containers. • Mop up any water that gets on the floor to avoid slipping.

Keep the Studio Clean & Organized• Clean up after yourself !• Help each other clean up. • See a mess clean it up. • Remind each other to clean up.
