Studio Art with a concentration in Printmaking, BFA


Our printmaking program supports students in their development of a personal vision and studio practice informed by a rich tradition and ever-expanding approaches to image making. In our carefully maintained printmaking studios students explore intaglio, relief, lithography, screen printing, monotype, letterpress, artist’s bookmaking and interdisciplinary processes integrating both handmade and photo/digital matrixes. ­­

Our printmaking faculty are nationally and internationally recognized professional artists who train students with technical skills, instill a sense of conceptual rigor, promote creative research and mentor students for professional development opportunities. Our program collaborates with print businesses in the region to offer students industry experience and develop professional networks. The Printmaking Association of North Texas Students (PANTS) organizes exhibitions, community events, field trips, fund raisers, awards, visiting artist events and portfolio exchanges.
