Hand Pulled exhibiting artist Alex Huttinger lead APS middle school students in a workshop that taught the tradition of relief printmaking - an art form which has a rich history of social and advocacy application. Through this workshop, the students generated new ways of thinking and expressing themselves. They visited the Ellipse Arts Center and were given the opportunity to make a drawing themselves. Afterward they visited the Lee Arts Center, where they toured the printmaking studios and completed their prints.
Students visit the Ellipse Arts Center to view the Hand Pulled exhibition and discuss the works of art with Alex Huttinger.
