Description: Provides students with the technical and aesthetic instruction necessary to develop as print artists.
The educational goal of the Printmaking Department is to provide students with the technical and aesthetic instruction and critical-thinking skills necessary to develop as working print artists. Students create work in a variety of fine art print media to develop distinctive vision and a professional approach. Printmaking is an extension of drawing; thus, drawing and compositional skills are developed along with those of printmaking. Students learn the basics of the major techniques and must achieve mastery in lithography and etching. Black-and-white and color processes are taught in all media within the program. Students are also encouraged to pursue other areas of the Printmaking curriculum, such as relief, monotype, letterpress printing and book arts. Aesthetic understanding is developed through studio projects leading to more self-directed work on the upper levels, lectures and demonstrations, and workshops with well-known visiting artists and printmakers. Recent visiting artists include Shanna Leino, Adriene Herman and Brian Cohen, and master printers Carolyn Muskat and Peter Pettengill. The Printmaking Department has hosted Beauvais Lyons and Phyllis McGibbon as its Auerbach lecturers during the past several years.
