The process of printmaking is making artwork by printing
images on paper that have an element of originality. Each print
produced is not considered a "copy" but rather an "original"
because typically each print varies due to variables intrinsic to
the printmaking process, and for the unique qualities that each
of the processes lends itself to. We will look into the history of
printmaking and its numerous techniques and will discuss
artists-printmakers and their work. No prior experience with art
history courses required.

10 Weeks | January 12 – March 15 | I/AD
Students in this course will work on one very large scale
drawing (minimum of 5 feet per side) in charcoal or graphite.
Smaller drawings, photographs or paintings will be necessary
to discuss content and compositional issues, so students will
need to bring prior work to class. The structure of the class will
require the student to be organized and self-motivated and
therefore, it is recommended for advanced students who have
these capabilities.
We will create small, representational sketches of the clothed
figure from life. Working quickly using a one- or full-color
palette. By painting the visual impression quickly, these
sketches can serve as the basis for larger, more finished
paintings. This type of sketching is exhilarating and will
sharpen your ability to make decisions quickly.

Guild of Artists was founded in 1922 and formally incorporated
as a 501(c) (3) organization in 1924 when the School of Art was
established. Today, in addition to the Silvermine School of Art,
the Silvermine Arts Center consists of a Guild of over 300
professional artists, five galleries presenting new exhibitions
every six weeks and sponsoring prestigious regional and
national competitions; an art and fine craft shop; public
programs; and outreach programs in the Norwalk and
Stamford schools. The Silvermine Arts Center’s many programs
are supported by membership fees, school tuition, art sales,
donations, grants and sponsorship.

Art Partners–Community Outreach
Throughout the year Silvermine Arts Center’s professional
Teaching Artists provide workshops to underserved
communities. Whether in school, after school, on our Campus
or in elder care centers, the arts assist students of all ages to
reach their full potential through joyous self-expression. For
students in Stamford and Norwalk schools, the classes are
designed to encourage critical thinking, collaboration and
literacy skills to help close the achievement gap that exists in
Connecticut public schools.
We are currently reviewing all of our existing partnerships and
new requests we have received for the programs. We have
many more requests than we can fulfill without additional
funding. Please consider a gift so that we may continue
providing free and subsidized classes for our underserved local
communities. For more information contact Outreach
Education Director, Sophia Gevas, at 203 966-9700 ext 19.
