Undergraduate: Curriculum

Curriculum Overview: Faculty work closely with students to hone technical and conceptual skills and develop a personal vision in their studio practice. Our curriculum covers a wide range of courses including relief printing, lithography, silkscreen, intaglio, monotype, papermaking, natural dyeing, and book arts. Throughout the curriculum, the history of printmaking, introduction to theoretical movements, and analysis of contemporary practices is integrated into courses through readings, discussions, exhibitions, and community events. 

Outside the classroom setting, students may enhance first-hand learning experiences through fieldwork with print centers, art organizations, and artists working in a range of disciplines, from fine art to commercial industries. Students attend studio visits with guest artists and work with faculty to pursue independent study projects. https://www.newpaltz.edu/research/info-for-students/ 

The Student Art Alliance Artist Lecture Series hosts lectures and critiques by contemporary artists each semester. Exposure to experiences such as this help students develop an understanding of printmaking in art and contemporary culture.
