Is relief printmaking a fine art or media art?


I need to know whether i should include my relief printmaking piece into my portfolio. its due tomorrow!! can anyone help me please?
I applied for a Design and Media Arts program at UCLA, and i have to create a portfolio to send to them. I am also including graphic design pieces and photography

Is relief printmaking (aka carving stamps and "printing" them on paper) considered a media art, or studio art?

The common distinction between fine art and media art is that fine art deals with originals - something that is created and is unique. Media art deals with something that is reproduced. So an original painting would be a fine art, but reproductions of that painting would be media art.
However, you have introduced a third category - studio art - and I have no idea how you would differentiate stamping (which is a form of printing, which is graphic reproduction) from media art. So i can't help you there.
As a rule of thumb, if you're in doubt, include it. Better to cover all your bases than leave out something that might be pivotal.
good luck

yes it is a form of fine art. research japanese woodcuts, to see masterworks and how far this medium can be taken.

fyi art can be reproduced and still be considered fine art, for example, the sculptures of rodin, the lithos of warhol.......

yes, i would consider it a form of studio art and you want your portfolio to be as artistically diverse as possible to show that you are well-rounded in all form of art media. good luck!

I'm doing a Printmaking Degree and its within the Fine Art department of our school. As a printmaker I consider all printmaking to be art whether its repeated or not because its still an original image. I would include it. It will show diversity. A lot of illustrators use printmaking too.
