Students has to create one print from woodblock in two colours. It is good possibility for the students to learn about printmaking secrets in China. How we know, the first prints come from China, where in 104 AD in Han Dynasty was invented paper by Cai Lun. In reality it was invented much more earlier, in 104 AD the paper produced “industrially”.
