Project Overview
4 people came from ArtOrg equipped with all supplies necessary to create a block print. Participants signed up and received a brief introduction to block prints and shown some examples. After given their supplies they were given an unlimited amount of time to create their own block print. Some people took 10 minutes and others sat for over an hour to create their masterpiece. When the participants were done they walked over to the inking station and after it was inked it was laid out on a chipboard runway and run over the inking steamroller to create the print. Once their print was complete they went over to the signing station where each artist signed their print, numbered it, received their publishing mark and had their picture taken. Overall it was a remarkable experience.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants will:
learn how a print block works
see that art can occur outside the lines of traditional thinking
understand that art is a learning process
understand that art takes time and is not spontaneous
Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants were a little hesitant to try at first, but once they saw finished products they became more excited to try it. It was also a lot of teaching them how a stamp works. Kids would just draw a picture and cut around it and expect it to print that
