Thank you for the advice! I'll continue on the search

Hello! Congratulations on your acceptance!! If you have time, I was wondering if you might be able to spare me some advice? I have been thinking about applying to for an MFA Printmaking program for Fall 2011. I graduated in May 2009 from University of Illinois with a BFA in painting. The past year I've been in and out of art, just doing small things. But I feel like I've really gained some direction in art in the past few months and am interested in pursuing a grad degree in printmaking! I feel like it's a good time for me to start working on my portfolio for it. As a painting major, without much experience in printmaking (just a few classes in undergrad), how do you think I should proceed in working on my portfolio? I feel that I am pretty strong in painting and drawing, should I make that the bulk of my portfolio or pursue learning printmaking as best as I can? Do you think that a painting major has a decent shot at getting accepted in printmaking programs? I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions! If you have the time I would greatly appreciate any advice that you have from your experience in applying for grad schools. Congrats again!
