Where fine art, pop culture and social movements intersect. Print media is all around us, and has defined how we communicate for over a thousand years. As a form of visual art, it includes silkscreen printing, etching, lithography, relief printing, letterpress, bookbinding, digital printing, and risograph printing. And with countless new innovations and technologies, this discipline is only becoming more creative and multidisciplinary. The Print Media program covers both the history of print media and its traditional practices, as well as the new and exciting possibilities for the art form that exist today. You'll take a mix of hands-on, immersive studio courses and critical studies that will provide a strong theoretical foundation. In your studio courses, you'll have ample opportunity to explore printmaking techniques and develop your own unique artistic practice using our specialized equipment and facilities. As you develop and hone your craft, you'll be able to deepen your conceptual understanding of the global histories of print media and its intersections with fine art, popular culture, mass media, propaganda, marketing, and social movements. You'll have opportunities to conduct research on print history, engage in theoretical discourse, explore various materials, understand and contextualize your own visual choices, and work collaboratively with your peers to produce innovative work. Both your conceptual and hands-on learning will be strengthened through classes, seminars, self-directed projects, exhibitions, and professional development guided by artists who are experts in their fields. Upon graduation, you'll have produced an impressive body of work that will help launch you into further artistic and professional pursuits.
