Printmaking is for all students who
discover in themselves a love of drawing and the graphic
qualities of contrasts in design, pattern, composition,
who are intrigued with the analytic potential of process
and sequential growth, and finally, who want to
understand and be challenged by the impact of print
media on society, culture and art.
