The Printmakers of MBS - Monoprint

Printmaking is an interesting art form which allows the artistequal parts of planning and spontaneity in the process of making art.
The introduction of Monoprint as a module to 5 Generosity is a pilot project
in our school's aesthetics curriculum to expose
our upper primary pupils to various forms of art.


Mr Sebastian Lau discusses each unique design with students.
