Student Presentations & Demonstrations

Option A: Demonstration:
Present a demonstration on a printmaking process/technique to the class. The demo should last a minimum of 15-20 minutes and must include a typed handout.

Option B: Artist Research Presentation:
Each student will be responsible for researching a contemporary printmaker. Keep your searches to those artists working within the realm of “Fine Art”. Do not research illustrators, graphic novelists, anime artists and the like. If you are unsure about your artist, talk to me prior to your presentation.

Each student will then give a minimum of a 10-15 minute presentation via Powerpoint presentation to the class on their particular artist. Give us biographical information, and discuss why you selected them, what you find interesting about them. What their work is about (artist statement). You may want to read what other critics have to say and so on. If you cannot find biographical information or high quality images or info on what their work is about, then you will have to select someone who you are able to gather this information on. You may also think about calling or emailing them to gather this info. Each Powerpoint presentation should contain a minimum of 10 works by that artist. Select ONE specific artist, not a group.
