The Printmaking Department at Hongik University reinterprets traditional printmaking techniques in a contemporary context, responding to the rapidly changing art environment. It explores new artistic possibilities by merging various academic disciplines and media technologies.

Printmaking, with its inherent qualities of plurality and indirectness, holds social and participatory characteristics. This expands beyond the broad concept of traditional printmaking and the precision of handcrafted work, evolving into the multidimensional meanings of contemporary art.

By reinforcing a curriculum that emphasizes both the technical expertise of printmaking and artistic thought, the department aims to foster outstanding visual artists. Simultaneously, it sets a key educational goal of creating timeless artistic value by connecting the past, present, and future.
