BFA in Printmaking
The studio art major with an emphasis in printmaking gives the student basic skills and knowledge in the traditional print media. The printmaking area includes courses in woodblock, monoprint, silkscreen, photo silkscreen, lithography and intaglio. In addition, many printmaking students chose to integrate the print processes into other disciplines, particularly digital areas. A new course in Artist’s Books incorporates many printmaking procedures.
One of the unique aspects of printmaking is the capability of consistent editions of multiple prints. As a consequence, many printmakers donate artwork to the Art Loan program where framed artwork is placed in many locations on campus. Students are also encouraged to enter local, regional and national exhibitions.
Facilities include a large printmaking studio and attached screen wash area. This studio includes two intaglio presses, two lithography presses and multiple stations for screen printing. In addition, a large intaglio press with a six foot bed is housed in an adjacent studio which allows students to print on a professionally large scale.
As with all BFA Studio Art majors, students are not allowed to begin the printmaking course sequence until they have passed the Freshman Foundation Portfolio Review.
The printmaking major offers a diverse range of media experiences and allows for a progression of technical and aesthetic development to best prepare him/her as a profession, or for a graduate program.
