Summary:Age Range: 9 and up (approximately, with parental supervision) The Museum of Modern Art in New York offers this terrific interactive presentation that demonstrates what an artistic print is and how it's made.

When you get to the site you'll see an introduction and a menu of the four best-known printing techniques including:

*Woodcut - In this demonstration you can virtually cut a block of wood to create a print. Then, explore the gallery of woodcut prints by selected artists.
