BFA Printmaking students dig deep into traditional printmaking techniques while also being encouraged to play with experimental and innovative approaches.
The Printmaking program at MassArt combines the study of traditional techniques with modern approaches to develop technical proficiency in printmaking processes. Students take courses in etching, lithography, silkscreen, relief, photographic print processes, and drawing. They also study monotype and woodcut techniques, in addition to digital color separation.
My most important task is to help students work collectively. Meaningful artistic diversity is realized through collective practice in the studio.Catarina Coelho Print Studio Manager and Graduate Printmaking faculty
During the spring semester each year, the Printmaking Department hosts the Master Print Series, welcoming a renowned artist as an artist-in-residence in which the artist works with students to develop a concept that evolves into artwork. MassArt Printmaking also hosts the annual Iron Print Competition in collaboration with the College of Fine Arts/Boston University, School of the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts University, and College of Art and Design/Lesley University.
