Printmedia

Practice and Aims of the Studio

Printmedia explores the use of digital and traditional print processes within a contemporary visual art context.

Drawing, photography and digital graphics are the key creative mediums used in the studio. The open structure of the course allows students to engage with these in a wide variety of ways, and the work produced in the studio ranges from landscape drawing to comics; from electronic publications to screen printed garments. Technically, the course covers a range of print processes that extend from fine art printmaking through to digital graphics programs.

Students are expected to work in an independent and exploratory way, developing their own ideas through an ongoing process of experimentation, research and creative intuition. The course is structured around a series of studio projects that encourage students to develop their work and creative thinking within a contemporary art and design context. An accompanying program of workshops provides appropriate technical skills, including courses in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop.

Studio Facilities

The teaching program is supported by excellent workshop facilities in the core areas of Screen Printing, Digital Print, Etching and Lithography.
