The first week of February marked the beginning of a new semester at NuSteel, Centre 3’s arts education program for high school youth. The first project of the year had
students learning about the history of printmaking and the role print media has played in shaping human societies. Students designed woodblocks based on an event, person, or
theme related to the history of print, and then each made a small series of
prints using Centre 3’s (very cool, very retro) Vandercook letterpress. This project had students experimenting
with carving techniques, utilizing elements and principles of design, collaborating
with classmates and other members of the Centre 3 community, and critically
analyzing the evolution of human society in relation to printed material. In other words: project-based learning
at its finest, baby!
