Visual Arts Printmaking - SUNY College at Purchase

Visual Arts Printmaking from SUNY College at Purchase is a Campus Master Printmaking degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The Master of Fine Arts Program in the School of Art+Design is small and highly selective. Its purpose is to foster the artistic, intellectual, and professional growth of each student through exposure to a variety of viewpoints represented by the graduate faculty, visiting artists, critics, and the current group of graduate students. The program provides an environment in which a student may intensively pursue independent studio work, as well as pertinent art historical and other academic studies. The extensive facilities of the School, including photography, video, and digital labs, are available to M.F.A. students. In addition, each M.F.A. student is assigned a semiprivate studio space. For those interested in developing teaching skills and pedagogical approaches to art making, opportunities are available to assist in the teaching of undergraduate courses and, when appropriate, to develop and offer courses. Thirty-five miles south of the campus, the vast art resources in New York City play a crucial role in every student's curricular and extracurricular studies. The program emphasizes the development of originality, clarity, and studio discipline that will carry into the student's professional career. The focus on independent studio work encourages discovery of individual forms of expression. This is accomplished through one-on-one meetings with faculty sponsors chosen each term, group critiques, and cross-disciplinary critiques with the M.F.A. faculty. The course of study culminates in an M.F.A. exhibition accompanied by a written thesis. Printmaking The printmaking area is equipped for large-scale work in all of the major printmaking media: lithography, silkscreen, intaglio, woodcut, papermaking, photomechanical, and digital printmaking .

Digital media is served by several state-of-the-art computer labs and large-format printers. To aid in navigating the conceptual and technical choices, group and individual critiques are employed.
