Art Department
The printmaking program offers a series of six studio classes: Introduction to Printmaking with instruction in woodcuts, etching, and monotypes, four Advanced Printmaking classes which concentrate on each of the fundamental processes of relief, intaglio, screen printing, and lithography, including digital, photomechanical, and large format techniques, and the final Portfolio class with emphasis on developing a related body of work. The program encourages personal development as an artist while teaching technical control of the various print media.
The facilities include three dedicated studios with access to computer and photography labs. Presses include a 44 x 84 inch Takach etching press, a Takach 34 x 60 inch lithography press, a 24 x 36 inch Charles Brand etching press, as well as a Graphic litho press, a Dickerson combination press, and a Vandercook proofing press. The studios are well equipped with support materials including a Nu-Arc platemaker, vacuum frame, hot plate, plate shear, drying rack, fume hood, litho stones, hand rollers, student lockers and flat files.
