    Introduction

    Print Making- A career choice that may seem exotic.

    Print making is an artistic practice that involves the transferring of images from one matrix to another
    surface. Among other artistic disciplines, 1print making is considered to be the strictest with technical
    limitations and rules. These rules and customs, considering print making a paper-based practice make
    people think of it as a 2marginal or an inferior practice in comparison with what is considered as fine
    arts- Painting and sculpture.

    The techniques and the application details were complicated and susceptible to misuse, therefore print
    making has always been thought to be a career choice that may seem exotic. So this thesis aims to
    interrogate to what extent the limitations of print has stopped people from pursuing it as a career and
    will also propose how the 4contemporary print making, at its most significant, marks the present
    through reconstructing past and anticipating futures. This thesis will also mention how the practice of
    number of significant artists in Pakistan have generated conceptual and formal innovations in print
    making that transcend local histories and conventions and have also built upon them and created new
    means to it.

    This thesis will use interviews as a methodology to examine how successful the artists have been in
    expanding print making as an art practice in Pakistan. It will use open ended interviews with the
    Pakistani print artists who would help us have firsthand information about their experience as a print
    artist and also make us aware of the limitations and strengths of this discipline as a career option. So
    that it helps the beginners at the college level to make a wise choice while opting for an undergrad
    program, since the previous research has not been helpful enough in fact, it has made the minds think of
    print as an inferior discipline, portraying that it does not have enough scope. I myself had this mindset
    before I got myself in doing print as my majors.

    This thesis will mainly talk about the 5development and evolution of print making throughout the history
    and how the new approaches towards art have allowed the rules and traditions of print to be violated.
    Furthermore, it investigates how the new perspective towards art paved the way for print making artists
    to create work incorporating different materials, mediums using knowledge of other disciplines. Will

    also investigate how the collaboration with other departments/disciplines help create the most
    innovative prints. For instance, a print maker artist who often use digital tools such as Photoshop to
    develop their ideas. This clearly shows the relationship between a digital entity and how it is articulated
    in print form.

    However, this thesis will also seek to investigate the validity and significance of print making tradition to
    cultural debate, not only that but will also question the role of traditional print in the digital age.
