The Printmaking minor is offered through Parsons School of Design.
In this minor, students with an interest in printmaking can develop their practice in one or more media by working with ideas and techniques drawn from their major or by treating printmaking as another area of practice. This minor provides a scaffolded pathway for students to learn about visual culture, technologies, and craft through traditional and contemporary printmaking by making prints, experimenting with processes and ways of working, and discussing histories and contexts for printmaking and printed matter. Students are expected to develop their ideas and understanding of their work, creating links between their visual thinking, their creative process, and their visual work. The minor also gives students the opportunity to work toward a senior project or advanced projects that involve printing editions or self-publishing.
