Printmaking
“Print methods influence much that is occurring in contemporary visual art and design. The field brings together drawing, digital, photographic, and multimedia approaches to image making. It takes time and effort to learn, but printmaking provides valuable artistic and career options for image development across media.”—April Foster, faculty
The Art Academy’s unusually large, well-equipped printmaking facility gives students free rein to express their creativity. Our printmaking program emphasizes traditional approaches invigorated by new technologies. Students are introduced to a full range of techniques, including mono-prints, relief, lithography, intaglio, screen-printing, letterpress, and book arts.
Each semester our Visiting Printmaker Program sponsors demonstration workshops by noted professionals. Graduates in printmaking from AAC pursue a variety of career paths, including
- making prints at a cooperative press
- working as a master printer in a professional print workshop
- opening an independent press
- screen printing at a professional design firm
- pursuing a graduate degree
