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.

Renowned works of art have been created using various print methods by artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Otto Dix, and Andy Warhol to name a few.
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.
*Etching - Try your hand at applying acid to a metal plate to etch an artistic image. Explore the steps to create an etching and view the gallery of artistic etchings.
*Lithography - Use virtual lithographic crayons to draw an image on a polished slab of limestone. See how lithographic prints are made. Explore the lithography gallery
*Screenprint - Use a blade to cut a stencil and create a screenprint. Follow the steps to learn the complete process. View the gallery of artistic screenprints.
This is a terrific interactive that explains artistic technique through demonstrations and it provides interesting lessons in art history.
