Making multiples with a vast range of plausible solutions entices young artists to explore new expressive directions. The special processes of printmaking enable them to see their work translated into exciting two-dimensional forms. These processes also provide opportunities for discovering multiple solutions to problems, enabling the student to construct a solid visual foundation.
