    Advantages of Diversification of printmaking in Uganda
    (Makerere University, 2024-01-17) Mujune, Jovan Marvin
    Printmaking has been in existence on the globe for many centuries. In Uganda, it can be traced back to the missionaries. Specifically the church missionary society in the nineteenth century who introduced the printing press as a means of improving information flow within the local population they were christianizing. Currently, printmaking is done at a small scale and and at large scale in form of commercial printing, with different commercial printing firms in the market. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diversification of printmaking in Uganda. Another aim was to differentiate traditional printmaking and digital print making and how the two serve each other. A case study research design was used with both quantitative and qualitative methods. The data was collected from employees and customers of Dnyke stationers Limited using mainly a self administred questionnare. While data analysis entailed descriptive, factor analysis, correlation and regression analysis. It was revealed that commercial print is more desirable in the art industry conpared to printmaking which is in art form. The performance of printmaking was found to use traditional techniques in forms of screen printing, metal etching, engraving, and wood cut printing among others. The performance digital print making was found to use machinery. It is reccommended that artists adopt digital printmaking methods such as those used in commercial printing in order to get quality outputs. This can increase market share within the industry and also increase production techniques by adopting mordern machines so as to diversify printmaking in Uganda.

    Analysing the portrait bursts in buddo(A case study of the lost wax technique of metal casting that was used to make the bursts)
    (Makerere University, 2020-12) Nnampogo, Yvonne
    The study aimed at analyzing the portrait bursts in buddo (a case study of the lost wax technique of metal casting that was used to make the bursts) The specific research problem of the study was to investigate why there was little exploration and research done on metal casting by the students of MTSITA yet it is one of the most earning techniques on the market outside school. This therefore intended to provide a proper documentation of all the steps taken in order to come up with a portrait burst using the lost wax technique and also establish the underlying factors behind this practice. The study was guided by the following objectives i) To find out how these portrait bursts were made. ii) To find out why the portrait bursts were made out of metal iii) To unveil the importance of making portrait burst iv) To discover the process for making the portrait bursts The research study used both qualitative and purposive methods. The population samples were the sculptor Mr. Mwesigwa a lecture at the Margret Trowel school of Industrial and Fine Arts and also selected respondents from Kings College Buddo. The respondents were to be interviewed and also given questionnaires which were to be later collected after being filled. The researcher used the interview guides, questionnaires and direct observation guided by observation check lists which were applied as data collection methods. Findings revealed the whole process of how the portrait bursts were made and the reasons as to why they were made and their relevance to King’s College Buddo. The major recommendation was to revile the great usefulness of portraiture and how it could be appreciated to a faster rate both academically, socially and economically. The lost wax casting technique should also be explored in the other areas other than producing portraits only. Learners should take advantage of what they visibly see and more so explore the lost wax technique as a major that could help them achieve a better and wider experience

    Analysis of ceramics mass production at MTSIFA Makerere University and surrounding areas
    ( 2021) Tusiimire, Ivan
    Analysis of ceramics mass production at MTSIFA, Makerere University and surrounding areas. Research has shown that the ceramic making methods used at MTSIFA largely by students do not rhyme with the mission of the course industrial arts which encourages production of artworks in mas, mass-production. This research points out loopholes in the methods used in ceramic production at MTSIFA and discusses the possible solution. In visions of an economically-collapsed anarchic future, personal items and tools are hand-made because there is no other way for them to come into being, just as was the case in medieval times and in more recent pre-industrialized societies. Human labor was cheap, but objects were expensive, so only the rich had more than the most basic few possessions. Now days, objects have become cheap because of industrial mass production. This calls up the MTSIFA student to produce more in order to cope with competition in market. Data was collected by a valid reliable questionnaires, oral interviews and document analysis. The collected data were later then analysed. A total of ten students were question orally, 15 students filled questionnaires and observation as a tool of data collection was used to collect the practical activities and process of actual ceramic making. In conclusion, the findings helped to understand and analyse ceramic production at MTSIFA in this helped in brainstorming the possible solution to the current ceramic production by encouraging mass production of ceramics to meet the demand in the market.

    The analysis of printmaking at Magaret Trowell school of industrial and fine art Makerere University.
    ( 2018-05-10) Arineitwe, Nickson
    This research discussed about printmaking which always shows conversational definition, meaning and practices as remaking more than one production through the varieties of media. The study was carried out with the major objectives; to analyze the causes of low quality printmaking art production in the department of art and design at MTSIFA, to examine the factors that leads to low quality printmaking art production in the department of art and design and to explore measures to undertake so as to improve the quality of printmaking art production in the department of art and design. A questionnaire was the main data collection instrument that was employed because of the advantages they have for the study including, time savings, upholding of confidentiality and for the study including, time savings, upholding of confidentiality and for being the best source of primary data. Both open and close ended questions were developed in line with the objectives and literature review on variables. This was so in order to allow the expression of different people's views and opinions and to ensure wide coverage of opinions from the respondents. The study indicated that the causes of low quality printmaking art works in the department of art and design is actually still low compared to other products that are produced by some of other departments as well as those on the market and the major reason given was that students majorly learn from description than observation. They would emulate any quality work if at all they had. Thus, the lack of inspirational work. Secondary, the materials that these students use are not of good quality that is competitive enough. This is further more worsened by the inability of the students to access the expensive materials for printmaking that would give them good quality products, which is competitive enough in the market. In essence, therefore, the university can help by providing good quality materials and tools which will help them produce better/good quality printmaking art works. They should also be exposed to tours in art galleries and art markets in order to improve their skills.
