Printmaking
The Printmaking program at Cerritos College, is a combination of introductory and
advanced courses that explores the history and practice of printmaking, examining
its evolution and significance as a contemporary art form. Students will engage in
hands-on learning with core printmaking techniques, including relief printing (linocut,
woodcut), intaglio (etching, drypoint), and screen printing. Advanced students experiment
with multi-process projects, produce series-based works, and create professional portfolios
customized for university transfer.
While no prerequisites are required, this course is particularly beneficial for students
majoring in drawing, painting, photography, or graphic design. Prior completion of
foundational courses such as Art 110: Drawing or Art 120: 2-D Design is recommended,
as they provide essential knowledge of two-dimensional design principles.
