LITHOGRAPHY

February 1–April 18 | Wednesdays, 6:30–9:30 pm

Instructor: Arnold Brooks

Twelve weeks | $570 (includes a $10 materials fee)

Lithography is the most direct form of printmaking. The immediacy of the artist’s hand is kept throughout the process. One can achieve a broad range of effects, from fine line drawing to transparent washes or deep rich areas of color. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced printmaker, this course will present the unique properties of lithography. The course covers the basic techniques of hand–drawn aluminum plates, photo–lithographic plates, and printing in both black–and–white and in color. The materials fee includes inks, mylar, and transfer paper.

Limited to eight students.

Includes an additional 12 hours of studio time each week of the class.

Arnold Brooks has printed at a number of NYC print shops, including Solo Impressions, John Nichols Publishers, and Derriere L’Etoile. His work is included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Appalachian State Art Department, the Miami Art Museum, and Florida Center for the Arts. .
