Printmaking as a fine art discipline is firmly established within a long history of image making, technological advancements and political contexts. MA Fine Art: Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts encourages you to approach practical making through a critical lens, establishing clear connections between creating and thinking.
Using Camberwell’s extensive print workshops, you’ll be able to advance your practical skills and professional knowledge across a range of analogue and digital print processes. You’ll also have use of wider College workshop resources. You’ll work alongside your peers, academic staff, visiting artists and researchers across workshops and studios. This creates a space to celebrate the cultural diversity and inclusivity of print, as well as its ability to continually provoke questions about the world we live in.
Alongside this, we support you to connect with the wider local, national and international print network, enabling you to consider next steps in your future career.
We look for:
Find out how careers and employability helps our students and graduates start their careers.
In this unit, we’ll introduce you to the teaching, learning and research culture of Camberwell College of Arts. Through independent practical experimentation in the studio, workshops and beyond, you’ll test your ideas and challenge your approaches to making your artwork. You’ll will have the opportunity to explore a range of materials, methods and techniques to expand and deepen your technical and practical skills.
You'll identify your aims and intentions through research and critical reflection. This will be supported by an introduction to key practice-based research methodologies.
You’ll interrogate and debate key ideas and developments within Drawing and build upon your technical, practical and presentational skills. You’ll extend your network beyond your subject specialism through cross-pathway MA Fine Art lectures and presentations. Alongside these teaching and learning events, the Professional Toolkit programme will support the development of your professional skills and knowledge.
Throughout the unit, you’ll document the key developments in your studio practice and reflect critically on your specific research questions and contexts. This will form the core part of your Unit 1 assessment submission for which you will receive written and verbal feedback.
In this unit, you’ll build on the feedback you received at the end of Unit 1. This will help you to focus and deepen your research and further define your own unique set of creative processes through independent and peer-to-peer learning. Through seminars, reading groups and talks, you’ll continue to engage with current debates within art, culture and society. You’ll test the rigour of your work seminars, crits and exhibitions. We’ll encourage you to extend your research methods and to engage with research resources beyond the University.
You’ll explore different approaches to critical reflection and writing about your artwork and research through a series of workshops. You’ll continue to equip yourself with a broad range of professional skills and knowledge through talks and workshops to prepare you for a sustainable and rewarding professional life in the art world and wider creative industries.
In the second part of this unit, you’ll start working towards a coherent body of work for presentation in a major public exhibition, the MA Show, which takes place at the beginning of Unit 3.
At the end of the unit, you’ll submit a body of work and a research file in. This is an opportunity to critically reflect on the key developments in your practice and the ideas, debates and contexts that shape your work.
