Minor in Printmaking

The Printmaking Minor engages students to focus on printmaking processes and methods to explore their visual art practice  and to study its impact in history, culture and contemporary art. Traditional and contemporary studio techniques will be covered to engage students' critical thinking and creative processes. This minor also examines artists and communities working with the multiples in areas of book arts, zines, installation, and communication while exploring the impact printmaking has related to current print and digital methods through research and individual projects. 

The analysis of contemporary practices lead to students developing personal strategies in printmaking.

Printmaking provides skills, creative thinking and appreciation applicable to many fields of study, including careers in education, counseling, therapy, business, marketing, communications, art history and any of the other visual art disciplines.

Coursework encourages experimentation and self-discovery.
