Level II digital imaging offered in conjunction with level II printmaking. This class is designed to develop images for use in printmaking using mutually dependent techniques and processes. Students may enroll in both classes simultaneously and use products created in each class to create another generation of products in the parallel class. Transparencies and color separations made from digital images may be converted to silk screen, cyanotype and/or photogravure prints. Prints may be scanned and recreated digitally and reprinted from large-scale ink processes. In the first half of the semester, the printing class would examine the basics of silk screen and photogravure printing with simple exposure techniques; simultaneously, the digital class would develop transparency printing, image control and color separation techniques. In the second half of the semester, students in the printing class would use the acquired digital techniques to expose silk screens and/or photogravure plates; simultaneously, the digital class would embark on advanced compilation printing involving multi-layered final products that would include prints made from the non-digital processes. Photoshop skills or permission of the instructor required. Students enrolling in both classes are given priority.

All studio art majors must take three graduated and required seminars (Sophomore, Junior, Senior) aimed at creating a sense of community within the program and at supplementing studio courses by addressing issues and concerns of the visual artist.

2 credits This class is designed to familiarize Studio Art majors with the leading artists and art movements of the twentieth century. The history of modern art will rapidly be surveyed with hundreds of slides, comments by the instructor and the class, and visits to New York museums.

1 credit All studio art majors (and interested photography majors) who are engaged in the Senior Project will meet for a weekly seminar/critique/ discussion. The aim of the meeting will be to create a forum for the continual exchange of views and ideas among the senior students and to encourage and develop skill in articulating ideas in speech and writing. Its form and subject will change week to week, but will include writing assignments (toward "Work & Image" catalogue); group critiques and discussion of student work; discussion of exhibitions on campus; discussion with guest speakers. All studio art seniors must participate.
