Printmaking: Media and the Message is a Level 3 course which furthers your awareness of the roles and diversity of the printmaking as a media of contemporary art practice. The course addresses both development of concepts and development of process. It uses lectures, individual and group critiques, and relevant technical demonstrations to support your individually managed projects, and foster the establishment of a base for research. The course will support your development as an artist through access to the full range of printmaking methods and offer encouragement to combine them or incorporate other fine art processes in your developing practice.

Assessment will involve 1 set project and 2 self-directed projects based on your working proposal that articulates the scope of your creative interests and a plan for its realisation.

This 3rd year studio course contributes to one of two, four-course specialist Printmaking 'streams'. It builds upon the knowledge and skills generated in the Level 2 courses, to establish a technical and conceptual framework for the development towards an independent printmaking practice.
