Labor and Printmaking II

Labor Timeline and Print Examples


Think about what labor rights mean and how they could possibly effect you.

Consider the time line:was there a definitive date that labor rights were won and labor laws were passed? Why do you think this is?

The labor movement has come a long way. Are there any labor issues still left that you think should be addressed?

What was the role of printmaking in the labor movement?

Why was woodcut such a commonly used printmaking medium for labor-artwork?

How would you describe the style of 1900-1940s labor-related woodcut images? Where did this style first come from?

(not mandatory but encouraged) Possible CEC Writeup Keliy Anderson-Staley's Artist Talk Wednesday at 3 or Demos  Wed 11:30am or 4pm

Due Thursday:
Everyone (each individual) should have an image from your group's work on one of the aspects of reproductive issues.  For many of you this will be your version of the image your group started working on. For some of you who were hitting a wall,  you might want to brainstorm terms and come up with a fresh image.
Your image is going to be printed on something which is smaller than 1/4 of an 8.5x11 piece of paper. Keep details and text to a minimum. Think of Steve Wada's cat image.
Or of these below:

Due After Break: Meeting CEC #1 writeup/ emailed question CC'd to me.
