Printmaking (7-12 yrs.)

In this class, young artists will explore intricate designs and techniques of monoprint and relief printmaking, as well as alternative processes. Students will develop skills in layering, carving, envisioning, composition and design as they explore materials and techniques. They will also revisit and sharpen their drawing skills to create eye-catching artworks. The medium and processes of printmaking will allow young artists to produce multiples and series of work from the master drawing. Each student will leave with his or her portfolio of prints!
