Both traditional and contemporary approaches to printmaking are offered in the department. Courses investigate the media of printmaking as a craft and examine its role as a vehicle for expression in historical and contemporary contexts. Beginning courses focus on developing sound technical skills while advanced courses are designed to incorporate the exploration of printmaking as part of the interdisciplinary art-making practice.
Classes are designed to challenge the student in terms of concept and individual content and are mediated with dialogue focusing on aesthetic, technology and critical concerns.
