Course DescriptionThis course is a practical class where original printing techniques in the field of graphic arts and design are examined from historical, artistic, and technical perspectives. Basic original printing methods such as relief printing (linocut, woodcut), intaglio printing (engraving), planographic printing (lithography), and stencil printing (screen printing) are introduced, and creative productions are made using these techniques.
