March offering – KITCHEN LITHOGRAPHY – MARCH 9 AT 9:00 AM
In this two-hour hands-on virtual workshop explore the basics of kitchen lithography, a printmaking technique that’s perfect for non-traditional print studio environments. Using aluminum foil and grease-based materials, draw directly on the surface of the foil. After applying an acidic cola etch, the foil can be inked and printed multiple times onto paper. The process results in beautiful prints that capture the direct quality of the marks made.
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to:
- Select the best tools for exploring kitchen lithography
- Develop new printmaking skills
- Produce beautiful prints that capture the direct quality of the marks made.
MAY offering – Comics as reflective practice – May 10 AT 9:00 AM
Comics are a sequential graphic form that includes visuals and text to tell a story. The inclusion of visuals in addition to written expression, deliberate sequencing of events, and continual revision throughout the creative process are just a few of the attributes of this versatile and adaptable format that can be applied to many educational settings, regardless of (perceived) artistic expertise. Citing case studies in comics scholarship from Nick Sousanis, Lynda Barry, and others, this session aims to highlight benefits and applications of comics in higher education settings, for both students and tutors alike.
In this two-hour hands-on virtual workshop. participants will engage in guided and interactive drawing and writing activities and receive a digital slide deck containing key points and additional resources.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
- Identify key components and terminology of comics
- Differentiate between reflective practices and incorporate them into the comics form
- Experience the creative/reflective cycle through personal practice and peer support
- Adopt comics practices into your own daily pedagogy and continued professional development
