Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to ensure that students learn printmaking — one of the fundamental practices of graphic design — theoretically, historically, and practically, and to enable them to understand its significance within the field.
Course Content
In this course, students acquire theoretical and historical knowledge about the printmaking technique. Throughout the semester, students are expected to produce ex-libris works using the linocut printing technique. By the end of the semester, at least one single-color and one multi-color ex-libris design will be completed.
Course Precondition
None
