Printmaking
Keeping in line with the interdisciplinary approach and philosophy of the school, the Department aims to give students the foundations in the art form of printmaking while they learn the skills that push their boundaries as artists.
The courses cover beginner and intermediate levels and are designed for LdM students who want to expand the study of the various engraving techniques and learn the process of artistic printing. They will delve into the fascinating printmaking processes practiced through the centuries while learning the unique importance of form, line and composition, as well as the historical, modern and contemporary approaches to printmaking and etching.
From the initial course, students are introduced to the various techniques of engraving on metal and wood, up to the most modern materials. Through practice, students at LdM improve their techniques creating more complex compositions; two-dimensional pictorial constructions, creative interpretation of the figure, still-life compositions, natural landscapes, and geometric structures. They examine the contemporary art theory creating a personal dialogue with the artistic process, and gain the freedom to research and give voice to their personal expression.
The study of printmaking at LdM offers students the opportunity for creative futures in related fields such as craft artists, fine artists, educators and media arts.
