Level 2 Art Printmaking
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Oddy.
At Level 2, students work on an individualised program. Building on the foundations of printmaking from Level 1, students develop a broad-base of printmaking techniques and skills. These include drawing for print and exploration of techniques including relief, monoprint, dry point, and multimedia print. Students will use research of established contemporary practice to develop in a specialized area of printmaking. Students create a portfolio, generating and developing their own visual ideas and theme through the study of contemporary artists models.
An achieved or better in Level 1 Art Visual or Level 1 Design and Photography is recommended, or by approval from HOD.
