Course content
The course Drawing and Printmaking 2 builds on the basic artistic experience and skills acquired in Drawing and Printmaking 1 and further develops them with a focus on their application in preschool education. Students are introduced to selected traditional and experimental drawing and printmaking techniques, their expressive potential, technological specifics, and ways of transforming them didactically for work with preschool children. Emphasis is placed on practical experience with materials, experimentation, playfulness, the creative process, and the exploration of artistic possibilities using simple and commonly available tools and materials. In addition to traditional drawing techniques, the course introduces printmaking processes that are safe and feasible in kindergarten settings, particularly monotype, relief printing, imprinting, frottage, texture printing, printing with natural and unconventional materials, simple stencil techniques, and mixed-media approaches. An integral part of the course is reflection on the appropriateness of individual techniques with regard to the child's age, motor and cognitive abilities, occupational safety, and the development of creativity. Students learn to design art activities in which drawing and printmaking are not based on mechanical imitation of models but instead support experimentation, sensory exploration, imagination, self-expression, and the child's individual visual expression.
