Printmaking guidance


Printmaking units: 

  1. Printmaking 1: Introduction to Printmaking (PM4PMI)
  2. Printmaking 2: Developing Your Style (PM5DYS)

Assessment requirements

When considering the learning outcomes for your course unit, it is important to know what you are being asked to submit. These are known as your assessment requirements. In summary, these will include: 

  1. A selection of learning log entries evidencing the connections between your coursework and learning outcomes. 
  2. A selection of creative work, such as a portfolio, or other presentation of your final or strongest pieces. 
  3. Any critical reviews, essays, or other written reports. 
  4. A reflective presentation or evaluation reflecting on your work and learning journey as a whole. This will either take the form of a 6 minute presentation, or a 750 word written evaluation. 
  5. Your tutor reports. You should have received five or six reports, depending upon your course unit, from your tutor.

Additional advice for Printmaking students 

At HE4

  • Please provide between 2 to 3 learning log entries for each learning outcome. Try to include sketchbook work and the journey of how you developed your final pieces.
  • Aim to submit between 8 to 12 of your best works for presentation.  These can be selected from the outputs from each assignment: monoprints, relief prints, collotype block prints, and combination prints demonstrating experimentation. There is no need to send in examples of multiple editions, a single print in an edition will suffice.

At HE5

  • Please provide between 2 to 3 learning log entries for each learning outcome. Try to include sketchbook work and the journey of how you developed your final pieces. 
  • Refer to assignment 6 feedback when you will have discussed your ideas and how best to select and present your body of work. This can include selected outputs from each assignment: including landscape, abstract, chiaroscuro and portrait prints plus a print inspired by your memory. In total you should submit between 8 to 12 final pieces.
  • You are asked to submit your Parallel Project of between 1500 and 2000 words.
