Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking

The Printmaking Area is housed in large, fully-equipped modern studios where you first learn the fundamentals of the three printmaking disciplines (silkscreen, lithography, and etching) before exploring at least two of these disciplines in depth. After students master the basic technical aspects of printmaking, the faculty encourages the exploration of advanced subjects that include color and photo-etching, photo-lithography, metal engraving, mezzotint, woodcut, digital printmaking, large-scale printing, installation, and the full utilization of the computer as an image-creating tool. The program prepares students for life after graduation through the Art Career Workshop, which provides a practical foundation for a professional career in any of the visual arts, and the Senior Projects Workshop, which focuses on the production of a formally presented print project portfolio.
