The intent of this class is to introduce students to the art form known as printmaking. Relief print is the act of removing the surface of the linoleum block and printing the raised surface that is left. This is a very old form of making multiple prints of one image. In this class, we will explore the process of printmaking. Students will also create a relief print hat can be applied to a shirt, a reusable bag, or a card.
Luu Melon is a Mexican comic artist/writer based in the Pacific Northwest. Born and raised in the Southside of Milwaukee, WI, Melon has been influenced by the urban landscape of their city and its diverse populations. Now as a Washington resident Luu aims to capture many more interesting perspectives in their work. Through an inclination of observation as a way to engage with others, Luu strives to create comics that are rooted in empathy and self-reflection. Major themes in their current work includes issues of identity, class, trauma, and childhood. Luu is currently working on their first graphic novel project, Gray Area, an explorative character study that explores themes of generational abuse and childhood trauma, and how these things can essentially flaw your own sense of self.

This show reflects fears found in everyday life. As a child, I felt like I was afraid of everything. My worst fear was fear of the dark. I also did not have the best self esteem, and often felt that things were my fault and that I was in the wrong. This all relates to my art in the present time as an adult. My art often has an inward looking darkness to it. I see art in everything, especially found objects, including in the natural world. I describe my art as having arbitrary order, which to me means everything used in the final art piece comes together in some kind of order or thematic way.
I am an expressionist painter living and working in Washington with a focus on creating paintings that embody movement, energy, and light. My work puts cognitive thinking in the foreground, letting the viewer discover things along the way. Each artwork is painted with a mix of expressionism and abstraction, with bold colorful flowing lines. I am looking to speak to the existence of our being from the analytical to the sublime.
