Description

Fine art printmaking processes provide students with unique, historically significant and contemporarily relevant experiences within the visual arts. This research was focused on filling the need for accessible, current, and relevant printmaking curriculum with product examples and creating a means to fulfill the National Standards for Arts education. Periodicals, professional journals, books, and exhibits of work were reviewed first in order to compile initial background information. Research then focused on interviews and correspondence with contemporary printmaking artists concerning their work. Once narrative and background information was collated, the curriculum was developed in the form of Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE) reflecting the research conducted through the project providing prospective students instruction and experience with history, criticism, aesthetics and production / processes. The curriculum includes study and examples of both historical and contemporary printmakers. Finally, sample artworks were completed to illustrate the production related portions of lessons included in the curriculum and to establish means of reflecting on and revising the lesson plans created.
