Examine the role of print in the public space, civic discussion and social protest and challenges students to create public works of their own, individually or collaboratively. The class will study historical examples of prints in the public space, such as Northern Renaissance monumental prints, Russian revolutionary posters and the traditions of graphic political art in Eastern Europe, United States and Latin America and will also create works for two projects that will be installed in public spaces around campus and the city of Richmond.
