Department of Print Arts

Hello, I am Sevgi BİLEN. I am a graduate of the Printmaking Department at Balıkesir University Faculty of Fine Arts. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in printmaking. The Printmaking Department is focused on the production of artworks through the reproduction of a work in a specified number and with the help of a matrix. The Printmaking Department of Balıkesir University Faculty of Fine Arts is located at the Çağış Campus. We have four main courses: intaglio printing, relief printing, screen printing, and lithography. Our department has four well-equipped workshops: intaglio printing, lithography, relief printing, and silk-screen printing. Upon graduation, we develop projects related to our chosen printmaking course and present them in the form of a final exhibition. This is how we qualify for graduation. Graduates from our department can become independent artists, educators, academics, and also work in the private sector. I chose the Printmaking Department of Balıkesir University Faculty of Fine Arts because of its expert teaching staff and its innovative and contemporary perspective. I also chose it for the artistic and social activities of Balıkesir University, the well-equipped workshops with high-quality materials, and its innovative approach. While studying in my department, I benefit the most from the opportunities provided by the workshops, the expert teaching staff, and the social and artistic activities. After graduating from our department, I would like to organize exhibitions to promote our department. For prospective students who will choose our department, I recommend taking advantage of the workshop facilities and participating in the social and artistic activities available at our faculty. I wish the candidates taking the university entrance exam success. We are waiting for you at Balıkesir University Faculty of Fine Arts, Printmaking Department.
