 Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs
The Printmaking concentration includes professional, studio-based training through a wide spectrum of course offerings such as: silkscreen, intaglio, lithography, relief, monotype, photo process, and letterpress. Utilizing the elements of composition and design, students work in large, accessible printmaking studios dedicated to the different printmaking processes while developing cross-disciplinary opportunities by combining printmaking with both fine and applied disciplines in contemporary image making. As the traditional nexus of what is today seen as the complementary fields of art and design, printmaking has always used a variety of processes in order to provide artists and designers with the capability to make multiples in editions. Students are also offered a variety of courses that encompass topics and expertise related to western and non-western arts and visual culture to develop an understanding of the history and basic vocabulary of art and design, as well as how these elements serve as sources for their own artwork.
In addition to the basic degree requirements that includes the first-year Foundations program, Art+Design History, and drawing, students pursuing the Printmaking Concentration take a core of courses that explore various printing processes and the use of the elements of design and composition. https://www.umassd.edu/programs/printmaking/
