Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art - Printmaking

Louisiana State University - Shorelight

Nothing surpasses the beauty of metal type embossed onto soft white paper, or the rich ink produced by an artful aquatint or lithograph. Slow knowledge-that which requires critical thinking, problem-solving, and true hard work-can be deeper and longer lasting than the swift hit of a single key. Printmakers embrace traditional, digital, and new, innovative ways of image making. The School of Art offers tracks in printmaking for the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art and the Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art as well as a minor in printmaking. Students explore advanced avenues of collaboration and expanding art practices while maintaining the integrity of existing traditional practices such as lithography, intaglio, relief, and silkscreen and the art of the book and papermaking.
