Department of Print Arts

Hello, my name is Elif Türkay. I am a student of Anadolu University Printing Arts Department. Printing Arts Department was established in Anadolu University for the first time in Turkey. Our department is located on the Yunus Emre Campus. It aims to train artists and experts in the field of print painting. In our department, primary art education and theoretical courses are provided in the first years. In the following years, workshops adopting experimental approaches are offered to students, depending on their interests. Our department teaches traditional printing-painting techniques such as silk, stone, pit, and high printing techniques. There are four different workshops where this training is given. Internships can be done optionally every year in our department. Candidates graduating from my department generally become independent artists, but they can also become art consultants, art directors, trainers, academics, and find different jobs in private institutions. I chose my department for its technical focus and creative aspect. I chose Anadolu University because of its contemporary and innovative approach. In addition, the fact that it was the first department to be established in its field and the campus facilities also affected my choices. My suggestion to candidates who will choose our department is to, first of all, benefit from their workshops and the facilities of other departments' workshops as much as they can. My suggestion for the candidates who will choose our university is to be aware of its facilities and artistic activities and participate in them. We are waiting for student candidates who want to improve themselves in contemporary art to our university. I also wish you success in your exams.
