The Printmaking program engages innovative and traditional technologies of print, builds open, creative community, and provides professional training in the fine print media. Building on the rigorous foundation program, the Printmaking major begins with introductory level courses in intaglio, relief, lithography, screen printing, book arts, and digital printmaking that focus on process and ideas in print media, and on materials, history, and analysis. The upper-level, advanced practice courses consolidate knowledge and encourage innovation and excellence, building toward a body of work with an individual voice and a specialized set of concerns and media, and culminating in the BFA Thesis Exhibition. Students in Printmaking are also expected to critique and write about their own and others' work, and submit a written statement to accompany their exhibition. A minimum of five major courses in at least three of the print media is required in Printmaking (including a thesis semester), as well as a Contemporary Issues Seminar, Painting II, the Art of the Multiple seminar, and at least one additional semester of Drawing at an advanced level. Additional studio electives provide versatility, visual fluency, and options in cross-disciplinary study, including two courses in one other major studio discipline and free electives supporting in-depth studio practice. Multidisciplinary study is encouraged, and students benefit from a close working relationship with faculty. Students are expected to interact with the community in special print projects, attend national conferences to build professional associations, and maintain an active profile as emerging professional artists. They are also encouraged to demonstrate awareness recognition, value, and respect for diverse personal voices, backgrounds, and visions.<br><br>The ultimate goal is to prepare students for career entry in the world of professional printmaking, with an understanding of their context in contemporary art. They will be fluent in the concepts, processes, experimentation, and materials that are necessary to create work on an advanced level in printmaking, developing work from idea to finished product. They will be able to analyze and respond critically and become contributing members of the creative community.
