Sunday printmaking

This last Sunday I really learned a lot from Ali and her husband about the art of print making. Also, how there are many types of print making it there, naming some of them are etching, mono prints, wood block printing, and more. My biggest take away for the day was being able to experience and play around a little with print making especially since I don't really have any experience with this type of art. With the guidance of Ali, I learned ways of what I can do when facilitating the art activities such as relocating certain materials for easier access. Another was that for this project, a person does not necessarily have to use his/her prints only but can also request to use someone else's as well. Lastly, the amount of paint you use also determines the outcome of the images, so informing the audience of this aspect would be good. 

I didn't really take any pictures of the artworks we created from the day but the picture below is a picture of the crosswalk in the Castro. It's a good representation of the project we've created since it's colorful and how the colors are, in a way, stacked on top of each other.
