BFA Studio Art with a Concentration in Printmaking

The Printmaking program supports you in your development of a personal vision and studio practice informed by a rich tradition and ever-expanding approaches to image-making. In the college's state-of-the-art facilities and carefully maintained printmaking studios, you'll explore relief, screen printing, intaglio, lithography, monotype, and interdisciplinary processes integrating both handmade and photo-digital matrixes.

Students pursuing the B.F.A. in Studio Art with a concentration in Printmaking complete a final portfolio of original, cohesive work.

Printmaking includes a variety of printing processes, such as the following.

• Relief, woodcut and linocut
• Screenprint also called silkscreen or serigraphy
• Intaglio — etching, photo intaglio and mezzotint
• Lithography — hand-drawn and photo-based processes from stones or plates
• Monotype (one-of-a-kind prints transferred from an unstable matrix)
• Many other image-transfer art forms

As you graduate, you will have been empowered to develop a personal voice, a professional and creative practice, self-discipline, and cultural awareness.
