My Projects

My Clubs

City Tech Printmaking Club

City Tech Print­mak­ing Club

This club is open to all City Tech stu­dents, but was orig­i­nally con­ceived for the stu­dents of the Ad­ver­tis­ing De­sign & Graphic Arts (ADGA) De­part­ment. We have formed to help bring tra­di­tional print­mak­ing tech­niques back into the gen­eral aware­ness of our mem­bers in order to ground them more fully in the phi­los­o­phy and her­itage of graphic arts de­sign and pro­duc­tion. We work to offer in­for­ma­tive lec­tures, pre­sen­ta­tions, ex­hi­bi­tions, demon­stra­tions, and field trips for our stu­dents to ex­plore all forms of print­mak­ing, in­clud­ing but not lim­ited to screen­print, re­lief, lith­o­g­ra­phy, and in­taglio.

Liberal Arts and Sciences Program

Lib­eral Arts and Sci­ences Pro­gram

The as­so­ci­ate’s de­grees in lib­eral arts pro­vide stu­dents with a broad, lib­eral ed­u­ca­tion em­pha­siz­ing the com­mu­ni­ca­tion, team-work and an­a­lyt­i­cal skills needed for both the work­force and higher ed­u­ca­tion. The as­so­ci­ate in sci­ence de­gree in lib­eral arts and sci­ence cur­ricu­lum pro­motes sci­en­tific skills among stu­dents to solve real-world prob­lems.
