Art and Design (BFA) (Printmaking)

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

The BFA is considered the professional degree in visual arts. A BFA prepares students to be lifelong practitioners of the studio arts who can demonstrate professional competencies - conceptual, technical and visual. In the Department of Art and Design, cross-disciplinary and multimedia work is encouraged. This holds especially true for the printmaking area. Traditional as well as experimental print methods are practiced, but students are encouraged to develop their own styles and working methods as they study the work of established artists. A professional attitude is expected in all aspects of the working and exhibiting process. The program currently celebrates over 25 years of producing exciting contemporary printmakers who have distinguished themselves in exhibitions, writing and teaching.
