Facilities - Printmaking

The printmaking emphasis within the Department of Art encompasses the four major edia
within the discipline: intaglio, lithography, relief, and serigraphy (screenprinting). Students enrolled in the 200-level introductory printmaking classes will learn and practice the echnical skills relating to the specific medium in that course. Advanced printmaking courses affords students the opportunity to work with a variety of monoprint and monotype techniques. In all courses, emphasis is placed on the creative development of images within the respective medium. The importance of possessing a strong, basic understanding of the media is stressed in order to allow the student to "forget" technique and instead, concentrate on his or her conceptual skills, artistic development, and the formal organization of ideas and images.
