Visual Arts (Printmaking)

Advertisement

Camberwell College of Arts is widely regarded as the place to study printmaking, boasting an international reputation for the quality of work and teaching. The success of the pathway is due to its exploration of printmaking as a medium in its own right and its relationship to wider contemporary practices. It responds to current debates about the role of skill and authorship in the creation of artworks, and about the notion of the unique work of art.

Printmaking technologies are being utilized by artists in more varied and experimental approaches than ever before which is why Camberwell is investing in both traditional and digital methods to enable development of ideas through print media. This area is presented as a test site to develop ideas and practices in new directions as defined by your self directed research projects.

You will be encouraged to develop technical skills, sharpen your critical and contextual thinking and widen your professional knowledge. The pathway promotes an innovative approach to traditional and digital media, and introduces all forms of autographic printmaking including intaglio, lithographic (plate and stone), relief, screen-printing and computer-generated processes.

Students are encouraged to exhibit work both across the Graduate School and externally in London. In recent years students have taken part in symposia at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and talks with curators and International artists. Visits to important print collections form part of the research and are made annually.

The pathway will give you the opportunity to develop a project from proposal to final exhibition. You will be asked to research the content, materials and technical skills appropriate to your project, and produce written as well as practical work exploring your chosen subject area and relationship to contemporary practice.

We expect you to be well grounded in relevant aspects of Printmaking and be able to define and debate your study proposals. Individual programmes are negotiated and supervised throughout the course in tutorials with specialist academic staff.

During the final development and completion of your personal programme attention is given to personal focus, artistic direction and application. The final work is presented in the form of a public exhibition at the College
