Programme Overview

Print Contemporary Practice programme at Limerick School of Art and Design uses an expanded definition of printmaking to provide a broad range of printmaking-related learning experiences and activities that help students build knowledge bases and skill sets in the field of Printmaking and Contemporary Art.

The student-centered programme curriculum emphasizes the importance of active engagement, experiential, and reflective learning for all stages. The students are encouraged to build a foundation in various print processes and experiment with traditional methodologies to new emerging technologies relevant to contemporary printmaking when developing their individual studio practices.

Regular tutorials, group crits, lectures, and seminars are other learning strategies that help students cultivate substantial knowledge within printmaking and contemporary art.

Successful completion of the programme involves a body of work, which includes an advanced body of research, works in progress as well as finished artworks, and evidence of and consideration for display methods and presentation. At the end of the programme the learner will exhibit selected artworks or installations in the Print Contemporary Practice exhibition, which is part of the LSAD BA Honours graduate show.
