The printmaking curriculum strongly encourages interdisciplinary work, especially drawing upon graphic and surface design techniques, mixed media and digital arts techniques, materials and sensibilities. Experimentation with any number of substrates available in the current marketplace is emphasized to promote student invention.<br>The equipment and facilities support the printmaking curriculum, which covers both historical and contemporary approaches using planographic, intaglio, relief and digital processes. Additional coursework provides opportunity to experiment with serigraphy and papermaking. Students are asked to use both hand imaging and photographic matrix-producing techniques to best express their artistic vision through the language of the multiple, with a darkroom facility nearby to support this. Students master traditional ideas of the editioned impression and its presentation, and then build upon this through experimentation with mark-making, ideas inherent to the multiple, and through production of multi-process prints.
