Exploratory Printmaking

Funded Dec 25, 2022

I wanted to take a moment and share just how your generous donation has impacted the lives of my students. From the moment the printmaking supplies arrived students were eager to find new ways to use the printmaking plates to enhance their artworks and create meaningful works of self expression. The students have taken it upon themselves to seek out new techniques and share their findings with each other. It has been such a wonderful experience to watch my students take on the role of instructors when explaining their new printmaking techniques with each other and growing as artists.

On the day that the supplies arrived my students were ready to dive into their artworks. They had been watching tons of technique videos in preparation for their new materials and could hardly wait to try them out. At first the students experimented one at a time while the other students gathered around watching the processes they had been researching come to life in front of their eyes. Once a student experienced success then all the students jumped at the chance to try it out for themselves. Thanks to your generous donation I have enough materials for the entire class to be engaged in art making at the same time.

We have a district wide juried art exhibition coming up and so many of my students are ecstatic to be entering work that they created using these printmaking materials. Participating in an exhibition amongst their peers really strengthens their confidence as artists and helps them find their voice in the world. Thank you again for assisting us in making this project a reality for my students and we look forward to putting these materials to good use for many years to come.
