This article introduces research outcome from a project that was done by mature student studiesAt the University of Ulster for D.Phil while teaching and working full-time as a graphic design and photography lecturer in a Further and Higher Education college. The program involves defining the format for the practice of printmaking in the higher education print studio of the future by reviewing the pedagogical and practical processes which are facing changes due to current financial, technologicaland physical pressures and establishing the significant part that computers play as a vehicle for expression and production in digital, hybrid and traditional printmaking.

 

As part of this research, a case study was made of a printmaking module delivered to HND graphic design students. Graphic design students benefit from exposure to print and its production techniques such as registration, color theory, screen preparation, bleeding, dot gain, color separation and image build-up (overprinting), all terms that they will be exposed to in future employment.

 

Graphic design students are heavily dependent on computers, as part of their creative repertoire. Working with print can be alien to a lot of them, alien in the sense that the practice is more hands on. The practical elements enable a more holistic approach to the design and learning processes, allowing the lecturer to give historical references, explaining terms which have been derived from traditional practice.

The visual arts faculty at a regional state university in Georgia initiated a scholarship of teaching and learning project to address and improve student-learning outcomes (SLOs) following a self-study analysis for reaccreditation. The SLOs were developed to align with the institution's newly defined university-wide competencies including skills and dispositions within the field, effective communication skills, and creative problem solving skills.

 

The presentation reveals how the SoTL process directly effected the improvement of SLOs when the faculty aliened the standards specified through the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and the American Association of College and Universities VALUE rubrics for creativity, oral and written communication, and critical thinking that served as guidelines for the development of SLO rubrics developed and piloted fall 2012. Practical methods for the development of such a process including evaluation and dissemination of results for change will be presented. Focus is on the visual arts.

As part of a U.S. Department of Education grant to expand Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Albright College, the authors of this article, one a historian and one an artist, teamed up to teach a course called Revolutions: Art and Revolution in Latin America. In the class, they proposed to combine a studio art printmaking class with Latin American history content. They wanted to use a different kind of technology to help students understand the past, and use Latin America's revolutionary past to help students understand the different ways that art has been used to promote social change.

 

This article discusses the methods that they use to teach the class, the resources available, and some of the challenges of offering this type of hybrid class. There are beautiful student work samples in the article as well.

Otoom (2005)Testing the Awareness of Hazardous Nature of Printmaking Materials among Printmaking Instructors in Traditional and Non-toxic Printmaking Programs.International Journal of Pharmacology, Vol 1, Iss 2, Pp 152-156 (2005) Retrieved from http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/ansinet/ijp/2005/152-156.pdf

 

This article focuses on hazardous materials used in Art Education. Printmaking is one area that mostly deals with toxic materials that are hazardous to human health. This study investigated printmaking instructor awareness of hazardous printmaking materials. A questionnaire was designed for printmaking instructors and was mailed to 20 Printmaking Instructors from the non-toxic printmaking programs and 20 instructors from traditional printmaking programs.

 

23 printmaking instructors responded to the survey. The survey sample was drawn from 10 liberal arts colleges and universities in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada: 5 of the universities for the safe printmaking program and 5 for the traditional program. The information was coded an put into a computer program for statistical analysis.

 

The article states that all printmaking instructors in both traditional and non-toxic programs were highly aware of the health effects of toxic printmaking materials. It also indicated that much emphasis was put on awareness of the hazards of art materials in all types of art programs among instructors.
