Objectives On completion of this subject students should have begun to develop an understanding of the basic methods and materials associated with the printmaking processes of relief, planographic and intaglio; the conceptual and analytical skills that underpin the methods of a fine art visual investigation; a curiosity towards the theories that inform contemporary fine art practice; a basis for experimentation, that has the potential to generate a diverse range of image making resulting in a graphic sensibility; and an attitude towards drawing that engages observation, analysis, selection and visual expression.

Synopsis This subject aims to introduce the processes of basic printmaking and to develop appropriate concepts through a study of old and modern masters in these fields. Studio practice will consist mostly of the traditional methods of intaglio, relief printing, screen printing and lithography.
