The University of North Texas Printmaking Area is pleased to announce High-Key , an exhibition of prints by five printmaking BFA seniors. High Key will be on view from Tuesday, November 14th through Monday, November 20th.  High-Key explores the themes of rich contrast imagery with strong graphic qualities. These five artists' work use a variety of subjects and concepts. Samuel Cowan's screen prints, etchings and artist's books explore complex notions of home. Rene Cordova's screen prints, monotypes and relief prints depict comic Mexican American narratives. Maya Joubert's etchings use hand sewn elements to examine expressions of identity through fashion. Jonathon Quinnelly's screen print installations engages the dynamics of violence in play. Jacob Vasquez's screen print compositions create collections of appropriated images in various modes of translation.

Registration Spring 2018 Printmaking Classes (updated)

...Not that kind of registration...

Are you thinking about registration for your Spring 2018 semester or beyond? 

There are a few things you should know:

Spring 2018: Printmaking classes will be available by permission code to Printmaking Grads, Majors, and Pre-majors in the second week of October. The permission codes will go void November 6. At that point the classes will be open to all CVAD majors without permission codes.

Spring 2018: the History of Printmaking class has been postponed until Spring 2019 to coincide with the SGCI conference.  If you are planning to graduate before Spring 2019, and have not yet taken the class, then you may look for another 4000-level Art History class and get approval for a course substitution OR you may request from Dr. Kelly Donahue-Wallace a Special Problems in the History of Printmaking… A special problems class in art history is readings, papers, and individual discussions with the professor.

Summer 2018: Printmaking classes: There will be very few classes offered in Printmaking and Studio Art.  We do hope to offer a Summer 5 Week 2 class in Artist’s Books. This will be unrestricted registration (no permission codes).  It may fill very fast.  Students who have not yet passed BFA Entry Review should not take any printmaking classes in the summer.

Introducing the "Chunk" litho pencil holder

Introducing "THE CHUNK"
Printmaking Tech Thomas Menikos has designed a litho pencil lead holder to be 3d printed at the CVAD computer lab.  Students may go to the lab and print the file named "THE CHUNK" on the TAZ-LUBOT.  It takes about 1.5 hours to print in a color of your choice.  The hexagonal design is comfy and it has a nice little clip to fit on your apron pocket!
