Through lectures, demonstrations, and site visits, students explore the history, culture, and related art market and distribution system of prints, artists books and zines. Sessions examine Japanese, Chinese, European, Mexican, and North American print histories as well as books to objects. Students gain hands-on print
experience in visits to printmaking studios. In addition to completing two historical analyses projects, students produce an artist book on a relevant subject in the arts using one of the techniques studied in class.
