This was my first exposure to printmaking, and I look forward to exploring this art form further!

The first three prints below were part of my final Printmaking project and were inspired by a creative thinking exercise in a 3-D Design class taken in Fall 2009 where I was asked to divide a square into four even parts as many different ways as I could. This exercise lead to more and more out-of-the-box thinking around the even division by four that continued over the year, and which then lead to the realization that an artwork representing many of these thoughts would be a good way to illustrate the benefits of integrating curricula in education (e.g. combining of math and literature and geography and...) rather than the segregated approach that is prevalent today, and which is based on a process of the past, not on current research about how we learn best.
