Sorry for the delayed reply... I meant...Hi Lindsy,<br /><br />Sorry for the delayed reply... I meant to respond then it got lost in my inbox :(<br /><br />I do paint, but I found that printmaking really captured my style better, and that I had a better intuitive understanding of the tools and processes more so than with painting. I use painting once in a while to either do something quickly, or because the image I've got in my mind would be more interesting interpreted in a painterly manner. <br /><br />There are a lot of techniques to be learned both in painting and printmaking, but I think from a "value added" experience perspective, if I had the opportunity to choose between majoring in printmaking or painting, I'd choose printmaking. In college, you'd get to have access to way more materials, expertise and techniques than you will once you launch your artistic career at home. Unless you've got your own press, I'd suggest taking advantage of the printmaking facilities at your college while you can.<br /><br />But that's just me :) Having never taken any art at college (my degree is conservation biology), I don't have any actual first-hand experience one way or the other. Perhaps others have an opinion they'd like to share?
