printmaking

emphasizes a manner of thinking and the making of images

The printmaking concentration emphasizes a manner of thinking and the making of images that the print media will allow and will encourage. As the student becomes familiar with the various matrixes, techniques, and technologies of photolithography, intaglio, relief, screenprint, papermaking, and the making of books, the methods of developing images and ideas are taught concurrently.

Exploration and experimentation in all of the print media are encouraged, including digital art and all other forms of reproducing an image. The courses are designed to progressively develop skill, creativity, personal imagery, and knowledge of relevant current issues. Advanced students work on a professional level by creating a cohesive body of work.
