Color Woodcut with Nancy Palmeri
Saturday, May 21 at 9:30 am - Sunday, May 22 at 5:00pm
Workshop Description:
This course will introduce students to single block color reduction woodcuts, with a focus on content and technique. Students will learn expressive carving techniques (with traditional and nontraditional tools), printing and inking applications. Special consideration will be given to the successful use of color applications (transparency, opacity, value and intensity) and simplified (working with one block) chiaroscuro printing techniques. The idea here is for students to recontextualize the history of this early printmaking technique in order to reflect their contemporary images.
