4. The following are ideas for interesting printmakers and printmaking processes you could use for your PowerPoint presentation. As you watch, write down the names of 4 or 5 subjects that would be interesting to you. If you want to use anyone or a process not on this list please check with Ms. Shuler BEFORE you begin.

5. DISCLAIMER:
Finding an artist that doesn’t create the occasional offensive or even pornographic artwork is very difficult. I have tried but simple can NOT look at every piece of art that an artist ever created to make sure it is school appropriate. In your research you may come across artwork that is offensive. The school tries to block these images but sometimes they get through. If you run on to a work that offends you just click out quickly and move on. If it is really offensive let the computer lab person know so they can block the site. Good luck!
