First-time Printmakers!

This was the first time teaching up in Zone Z: Alamos, another one of the highest zones in Huaycan, sometimes sadly nicknamed "los olvidados de Dios" (the ones God forgot). Introducing these kids to simple printmaking by engraving different line types with a pencil on flat foam pieces, inking up the foam, and printing it on paper. They enjoyed it! A few kids went above and beyond to add some designs around the borders of their artwork.

The kids of Zone S also did this printmaking project but used animal templates instead of line designs. They came out great! and a few were able to successfully draw animals from a photograph reference.
