Printmaking: Etching, Lithography, Woodcut, Silkscreen
Michael Pellettieri has been teaching at the Art Students League since 1977. He
has lectured at Pratt Institute and taught printmaking at Columbia University.
He says: ÜThe search for a visual idea begins with a visual experience. The idea
ruminates and evolves with a life of its own. As an instructor, I am interested in exploring
this creative route together in an atmosphere of structure and discovery.¹
Mr. Pellettieri studied at the League with Edwin Dickinson, Joseph Hirsch, Robert
Beverly Hale and Harry Sternberg. He has a B.A. in Fine Arts from the CUNY, School of
Arts and Sciences, and an M.A. from Hunter College. He studied printmaking at the New
School with John Ross. While a League student, he won three scholarships, including a
U.S. State Department Grant to study in India. Among his awards are two from the
Audubon Artists; the Strathmore Award, Boston Printmakers; a Mitchell Fund Award in
1985; a MacDowell Colony Fellowship in 1988; and the Ben and Beatrice Goldstein
Foundation Award. Other awards include a Robert Conover Award in 2000, a Burr Miller
Award in 2002…both at SAGA exhibitions, and several purchase prizes including the
University of Mississippi and the University of North Dakota.
