Tuesdays, 6 - 9pm, January 26 – March 30, 2010. Since its invention, lithography has always been based in the idea that grease and water are mutually rejective and has always remained intimately connected to drawing and painting. Historically the image was created and printed from the surface of prepared limestone slabs but currently the modern ball ground aluminum plate frees the artist from many of the constraints of limestone while producing comparable printed effects. This course includes the theory, drawing techniques, processing, and printing of aluminum plate lithography. Color theory and multiple runs will also be reviewed. This class is open to students of all skill levels and will be taught by Chicago artist Richard Repasky. Class size is limited to 8 individuals. This class costs $300 including all materials except for paper and plates. Plates will be available on the first day of class. Open Studio time for the duration of the class is available for a $2 materials fee per visit. Call 312-369-6864 to register.
