Combine Visual Art Journal techniques with the art of Printmaking. Discover the art form of Printmaking and the various different types of printmaking such as Relief, Found Object, Gyotaku, Monoprinting and more!
Printmaking: Visual Art Journal Course is part of Julie Shelton’s Visual Art Journal Series. The Printmaking: Visual Art Journal Course will combine Visual Journal techniques with the art of printmaking. Visual Art Journals are multimedia journals used primarily in art classes, but can be modified to create Connected Learning Experiences for courses other than art (English, science, history, etc). Instruction will be given on how to incorporate printmaking techniques and processes to build strong layers and backgrounds for visual journal pages.
