Welcome to the APS Printmaking Programme

Our immersive 3-year printmaking program introduces students to the core elements and principles of art through the medium of printmaking. In the foundational first year, students cultivate essential skills in visual literacy, drawing, and various printmaking techniques, establishing a solid groundwork for more advanced practices in subsequent years. Continuous assessments focus on technical proficiency, engagement, communication, and professionalism. In the second year, students enhance their understanding of research, concept development, and presentation through structured brief assignments. These projects promote critical thinking around identity and societal issues while fostering community involvement. As they work towards their independent projects, students refine their skills in contextualizing and presenting their ideas, preparing them for the expectations of their final year. The third year culminates in the creation of a portfolio of artworks, along with an artist statement and involvement in a physical exhibition. This year is heavily focused on developing industry-specific skill sets. Students engage in planning, research, and collaborative projects that lead to a final exhibition, providing them with valuable experience working within the arts industry.
