Last year my theme was Kansas City Jazz. I used Archibald Motley's
"Blues" 1929 as an exemplar. One of the prints is on my lesson plans
at http://www.taospaint.com/LessonCollographPrint.html
This year I'm doing Native American Art as a theme.
The collograph process I describe in the lesson is cheap until you buy
the ink, but it uses less ink than most printmaking cause you do all the
colors at once.
