Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I invite you to consider
student work displayed on our web site <
http://www.blakeschool.org/aaa/arts/gallery/upper/printmaking.html>. I too
introduce paper stencil and instruct students in the use of photo screens
as well. The course is a semester class meeting 4xper week.
I'm in a quandary about what best to do with subject matter for a class
that happens to be small and single gender (boys). I'd like to think that
male students could utilize printmaking as a vehicle for personal voices
about subject matter that is important to them as individuals.
