Course variations

Course summary

This program holds especially true for the printmaking area. Traditional as well as experimental print methods are practiced, but students are encouraged to develop their own styles and working methods as they study the work of established artists. A professional attitude is expected in all aspects of the working and exhibiting process. The program currently celebrates over twenty-five years of producing exciting contemporary printmakers who have distinguished themselves in exhibitions, in writing, and in teaching. Printmaking alumni, for example, hold professorships at the University of Massachusetts, Florida International University, Kenyon College, Illinois State University, Wake Forest University, University of Southern Indiana, and the Cleveland Art Institute as well as other notable institutions.
