Printmaking in Schools
As part of our education outreach, APS is developing a variety of printmaking workshops for Atlanta area schools K-12. Our lesson plans include a wide range of techniques for all ages and skill levels. Our teachers are professional printmakers who will present a little bit of art history, educate students about printmaking, do a demonstration, and lead the students in their own artmaking. We can customize the content to make connections with other subjects the students are studying, like a specific culture or historic event. Fees vary.
