FNDT 164 Visual Art Core

A portmanteau is a linguistic blend of words, such as cyborg (cybernetic + organism), skyscraper (sky + scraper), and Brexit (Britain + exit), whereas a compound is a combination of two words, like karaoke (karappo + okesutura, or empty + orchestra in English) and skyscraper (sky + scraper). Choose an existing portmanteau, or devise one of your own, then make a sculpture of it by casting it in plaster or another material of your choice.

Foundation 151 Printmaking
Instructor Mark Johnsen

This selection of printed works was created in response to themes of transformation, iteration, self-representation, opposing forces, and the very mediums in which they were produced. Over the Spring of 2022, students worked in the mediums of relief, intaglio, monotype, book media, and combined techniques to explore the unlimited potential of printed matter.
