Printmaking

The printmaking curriculum at the Kansas City Art Institute is based on student choice and strong educational balance between learning skills and concepts and development of the students individual studio work.

 A knowledge of large format printing, digital documentation and proficiencies in etching, relief printing, lithography, silkscreen and transfer methods are seen as essential outcomes of the program.

Students are encouraged to think in personal creative terms and in terms for commercial application of his/her skills and studio work.  Recent print graduates have succeeded in a wide variety of areas from graduate school, elementary school teachers, starting print studios, professional positions and of course as studio artists.

The curriculum calls for 15 to 18 credit hours per semester, including required liberal arts courses, professional practice, studio electives and core printmaking courses. Drawing course work is required in the spring semester of the sophomore and junior years.
