About the course

The concentration in Printmaking (FAPR) is an extension of drawing and the courses offered expose the students to a different way of approaching art and of exploring connections between other art disciplines. We pride ourselves in creating an atmosphere that fosters a balance of technical proficiency as well as a strong aesthetic sensibility. Printmaking is a way of making art through a range of traditional techniques and alternative print practices, thus providing a solid foundation and an excitement to engage in current advancements in the print media. The students are able to produce multiple works of original art through the processes explored coupled with various stylistic approaches and individual sensibilities.

　　Each major area of printmaking is taught:relief, intaglio (etching), lithography and serigraphy (silkscreening). The basic courses build a solid foundation upon which other printmaking investigations can be expanded. Both black & white and color processes are explored. On the intermediate level the students are expected to develop technical skills in tool manipulation, multiple plate/stencil printing and the development of editions. The students are encouraged to investigate auxiliary processes and concepts. On the advanced level, the students are expected to be technically competent, innovative and conceptually challenged and critically aware. They are a point of specialization and strong image making. In all the printmaking classes, the faculty offer critical insights to help students develop mature personal work responsive to contemporary and societal issues.
