Printmaking Sessions


Paper fold exercise

Printing is fun! Children can discover ways to make extraordinary shapes and textures and repeat the pattern lots of times within a few minutes. This session is a great introduction to fine prints and editions (number of times a pattern was produced). I always bring pictures of artworks done by local artists (see blog on Fil Delacruz). When the kids go on a museum/gallery tour I ask them to find and identify different prints and check the editions.
