Date: Revised August 2013
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Print Media 2 begins with an introduction to screenprinting. The first project introduces a variety hand-drawn and cut stencil imagery. The second project integrates digital and photo-based print media using Adobe Photoshop, digital photos, and scans. For the third project, students may incorporate bookworks, drawing, 3 dimensional elements, and installation. Focus is placed upon individual development through research and production; students are encouraged to link their ideas with the spectrum of media and skills that are most suited to their individual goals. Safe and healthy work practices are followed, including a health and safety test. Each project will combine research, discussion and critical thinking. Students are required to begin their projects in class, and to complete them during open studio times.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Students who complete Print Media 2 successfully will have acquired the skills and knowledge needed to create screen prints using techniques such as photo stencils, cut stencils, registration and colour separations. They will have gained a basic awareness of the technical processes that differentiate print media, and a basic understanding of the conceptual and aesthetic concerns of contemporary printmaking. They will be able to acquire a digital image from a variety of sources, and prepare it to be used with print media. Students will be given detailed information about health and safety in a printmaking context.
EVALUATION PLAN Students will demonstrate their learning in the following ways:
Students will be evaluated on the quality and originality of their work as evidenced by three portfolios of finished prints – each assignment requires developmental drawings, research, intermediate stages, and proofs to be submitted for evaluation. In addition to their print assignments, students will also be evaluated on their safety test, and their participation during critiques and discussions. Throughout the term, verbal feedback will be given on an individual and group basis. A group critique, written feedback, and a letter grade will be provided for each portfolio submission.
Grading CRITERIA
1. The creative and experimental nature of each of your projects
2. The aesthetic success of the project
3. The variety, originality and depth of your research

Date: Revised August 2013
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Print Media 3
This course will place a greater emphasis on individual development, focusing on production, quality and technical proficiency. Students will learn technical and critical skills, along with developing their own personal vision. They will also increase their familiarity with issues and examples of contemporary print practice.
Print Media 3 begins in first term with an open, experimental phase during which students learn monoprinting techniques and develop their visual and conceptual framework for subsequent work. The second phase introduces plate lithography, including working with scans, drawings, digital, and photographic imagery. First term concludes with students examining and synthesizing their experiences and using their insights to create a portfolio of finished work.
In second term, stone lithography is introduced as a collaborative option - each participant draws on a section of a large lithographic stone and the printing is done as a team. All other production is self-directed, with three deadlines when work is completed, critiqued, and handed in for grading and comments. During the course, each student develops two presentations for the class on the subject of historical and contemporary print artists. Emphasis is placed on safe and healthy work practices.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Print 3
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated the ability to:
- use monoprinting for image-generating and concept development
- use the printing presses, equipment and materials correctly
- research and present information in a short lecture format
- discuss their own work, and that of others with critical awareness
- take responsibility for themselves and others in order to work safely
- create lithographs using hand-drawn, photographic and digital imagery
- print lithographs from plates and stones using layers and registration
- conceptualize, refine, and execute original work with attention to detail and quality
- use research methods to extend the range and sophistication of their work
EVALUATION PLAN Students demonstrate their learning in the following ways:
Students will be evaluated on the quality and originality of their work as evidenced by six portfolios of finished prints – each including developmental drawings, research, documentation and proofs. In addition to their print assignments, students will also be evaluated on their second term outline, two presentations, and their participation during critiques and discussions.
Grades for this course will be broken down as follows:
First Term Assignment # 1 10%
First Term Assignment # 2 10%

Print Media 4 Course Outline
Course Title: Print Media 4 Course Number: FAS434Y
Course Section: Studio Semester Offered: Fall and Winter
Course Meeting Time: Tuesday & Thursday 2 - 5 Credit Value: 1
Professor: Lisa Neighbour Pre-requisites: Print Media 3
Contact Information: email - lisa.neighbour@sheridanc.on.ca
Date: Revised August 2013
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Print Media 4
In this course, students will develop a considered approach to the thematic, technical and aesthetic elements of their work. Students will be involved in a self-directed, supervised opportunity to define and develop their artistic vision using print media. They will be encouraged to develop connections between print and their work in other media. Refinement and sophistication in both conception and execution should be evident. One or two themes should emerge in their prints, and in other work as well, linking and focusing their endeavors.
Students should become familiar with issues and examples of contemporary practices, especially as they touch upon their own work. Print Media 4 begins with a planning stage during which the students, in consultation with faculty, prepare an outline of the work they want to focus on each term. The outline should include research areas, specific media, a conceptual framework and an exhibition context for the work. During the course, each student develops two presentations for the class on the subject of historical and contemporary print artists, their own works in progress, and the requirements of graduate schools. Readings will be assigned 2 – 3 times per tem and each reading will require discussion and written response. Emphasis is placed on safe and healthy work practices.
Topical Outline
Print 4 students begin the year by writing a proposal for the project(s) they plan to complete in first term, including their research goals, conceptual framework, and a production schedule. By the 6th week, they present works-in-progress during a group critique. Print 4 students are encouraged to work independently to complete either four separate portfolios of finished prints or the equivalent number as part of a continuous body of work. The prints should be related thematically, and may include elements in other media. At the end of second term, students present their work in the form of an exhibition, either in-class or at a location they have organized.
In addition to their print portfolios, the students deliver a presentation to the class each term that includes visual material, a hand-out and discussion. Each project is handed in with notes, sketches and research.
In first term, each student selects a program that they would like to attend for graduate studies, or an artist’s residency that they would like to attend, and presents a short information and slide lecture to the class explaining the application procedures, and describing the program.
In second term, each student presents an overview of their own work in short lecture format. This presentation should include images, source material, written statements, bio, and an idea of the contemporary context and/or theories that relate to their ideas.
Weekly activities may change due to weather cancellations, scheduled school activities, and opportunities that arise for workshops, exhibitions and the like.
Class Structure:
* Print 4 students complete 2 portfolios per term if this suits their methods, their subject matter, and the scale of their intended project. The individual student in consultation with faculty should develop a proposal outlining the themes, media and timeline of their work. Formal and informal class critiques are held throughout the term to analyze and discuss the work. One-on-one reviews are held with individual students to monitor and guide their progress throughout the year.
* Print examples, demos, and visual presentations explore technical and conceptual print issues. Information on applying for grants, residencies and exhibitions is discussed. Students learn practical strategies for presenting their work, managing exhibition budgets, interviewing for employment and volunteering.
Skills and Techniques:
Print 4 students acquire the ability to initiate, develop, and complete an extended thematic body of work. They also learn how to research and present short topics to a group, how to lead a discussion evolving out of their presentation, and how to benefit from analyzing the work of contemporary artists.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Print 4 To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated the ability to:
- motivate themselves to follow a plan over 2 terms of independent studio time
- pursue research into the visual and conceptual elements of their work, into the work of other artists, and into the professional practices related to their field
- conceptualize, refine, and execute original work with attention to detail and quality
- write a clear, interesting and relevant text to accompany the work
- research and present information in a short lecture format
- discuss their own work, and that of others with critical awareness
- take responsibility for themselves and others in order to work safely
- demonstrate the ability to work independently in a professional studio
Evaluation Plan Students demonstrate their learning in the following ways:
Students will be evaluated on the quality and originality of their work as evidenced by an exhibition of finished prints. Evaluation will also be based on developmental drawings, research and a written statement. In addition to the finished prints, evaluation will be based on presentations, and the student’s participation during critiques and discussions.
Grades for this course will be broken down as follows:
First Term Assignment Part 1 20%
First Term Assignment Part 2 20%
Second Term Assignment Part 3 20%
Second Term Assignment Part 4 20%
Presentations and Readings 20%
Total 100%
Students in print 4 have the option of organizing their assignments on a longer timeframe, in consultation with the instructor.
Grading CRITERIA
1. The creative and experimental nature of each of your projects
2. The aesthetic success of the project
3. The variety, originality and depth of your research
4. Your active participation in the course
5. Meeting the deadlines established for the projects
Participation:
Your participation will be evaluated and included as part of your mark for the course.
Participation may include some or all of the following: arriving on time, listening to lectures and instruction, being prepared and working in class time, sharing ideas, concepts and creative exploration and conceptual development with other students and cooperating in group projects, analyzing and offering opinions about work in progress and listening to and being an active participant in critique and discussions.
Late Work:
Late work will not be accepted more than 7 days after the initial due date. All late work will be subject to a penalty of 10% per week. Students may not re-submit previously graded work or work produced for other courses for evaluation. In case of illness, you should provide a doctor’s note – out of fairness to your peers no exceptions will be allowed.
Attendance Policy:
Students benefit from an active involvement with faculty and with their fellow students, therefore the program requires that they attend and participate fully in classes on a regular basis. Marks are not assigned for attendance. However, a student with three or more unexcused absences may be assigned a failing grade for that course. Students who are more than 30 minutes late for a class may, at the discretion of the faculty member, be marked absent.
Student Prep:
Print 4 will meet from 2 – 5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Presentations will be scheduled at the beginning of class, followed by work time and discussions. On average students should expect a minimum of six hours per week completing work and doing assignments outside of class time. Open studio times in the print area will be posted – Print 4 students may work in the studios from 9AM – 9PM on Thursdays. Students are required to clean up after their studio time.
Supplies * You will need an apron and gloves to take this class – please purchase them and bring them with you when you begin studio work
Some materials are available in the studio, others should be purchased at the Sheridan Store or at an art supply store. John McCartney (wood-shop technologist) sells Stonehenge paper from a large roll. The Sheridan store has BFK Rives, Stonehenge, Arches and various other papers suitable for print media. Paper that is textured, very thin, shiny or not acid free will affect the appearance and longevity of your work.
Materials you will need for Print 4:
