In the Printmaking concentration students learn the printing processes of relief, silkscreen, lithography and intaglio translating hand drawn and digital imagery into printed multiples. Our sequential courses introduce advancing techniques while students develop problem solving skills, visual awareness, personal imagery and conceptual intent within their artistic practice. Experimental approaches are encouraged by combining print media, creating two or three dimensional works and interdisciplinary projects. Fiber Design courses support materials research from papermaking, book arts, textile and surface design. Professional development within the area includes preparation for exhibitions and documentation of 2D work. Printmaking events are held to fundraise for student travel to the Mid America Print Council and Southern Graphics Council International Conferences.
