Printmaking

Printmaking is an area of specialty within the Department of Art. We offer a B.A. or B.S. in Art. With the completion of those degrees, a student may apply to the B.F.A. program in printmaking. The B.F.A. requires a year of concentrated study in printmaking which would generally include all four print media: lithography, intaglio, relief, and silk-screen.

Graduate studies in Printmaking lead to an M.F.A. degree and require a minimum of two years of study. We recommend three years because of the necessary time that print processes require, as well as the growing connection between printmaking and other disciplines.

UO Printmaking Graduate study in printmaking places far less emphasis on credits and coursework than on time in residence, a regular advising relationship with faculty, and personal creative development in a supportive community of artists. We recommend that graduate students take three years to complete the MFA so that they have the necessary time to grow as artists, working with media that are often time consuming. Although we have no interdisciplinary MFA at Oregon, students may work in other curricular areas of the department also as appropriate to the development of work in their major area of interest, printmaking. This serves to acquaint them with other faculty who might be a part of the degree candidate's terminal project committee in the final year.

UO Printmaking We are assigned GTF assistance each year. Graduate Teaching Fellows assist with studio instruction in the undergraduate classes, as well as upkeep of studios and supplies. GTF arrangements are made each year with regard to current needs and as well as the particular skills and interests of available applicants. Whereas some other schools offer GTFships in the first year, we have found that the demands on first year grads here are such that a fellowship is not generally feasible until the second year. A number of scholarships are available, most based on a combination of demonstrated need and clear progress in one's discipline. Students should plan to arrive with enough resources to be largely self-sufficient; scholarship funds are limited.
