Printmaking

The undergraduate printmaking program at Texas Tech University includes a comprehensive study of water-based screenprinting, lithography, monoprints, monotypes, relief print, computer and mixed print media processes. Basic sophomore level printmaking courses introduce students to the fundamentals of printmaking through the study of traditional processes. Intermediate classes explore these processes in depth with an emphasis on understanding the relationship of technique and concept. Advanced courses in printmaking focus upon new technology as it relates to traditional print processes. In addition students are encouraged to investigate combining and interchanging the various printmaking processes. Slide lectures and demonstrations are included in class instruction.

The graduate level printmaking program has a 40 year history of producing top MFA professionals in this field.  Alumni of this graduate program are located in art faculty and art administration positions throughout the country.

Visiting artists are scheduled each semester to deliver lectures and/or conduct workshops and provide graduate student critiques to supplement the instruction of the program. Individual and group critiques are an important part of the course.
