Students in the Printmaking Program gain experience, technical skills and the ability to approach critical issues confronting both traditional and current systems of printmaking. These include stone and plate lithography, intaglio, relief printing, screenprinting and the incorporation of photomechanical techniques in each of the processes. One of the longest standing print programs in the upper Midwest, the program encourages individual development and stimulates the production of innovative, high quality work. Our faculty members guide students as artists within an intellectual studio context, helping them to master the process of creating images that will define their lives as artists/printmakers. Upon successful completion of the program, students will possess the studio skills of printmaking as well as the mental faculties of description, analysis, synthesis, application and evaluation critical to an educated artist.
