In March 2002, silk screen artist
Vidabeth Bensen provided a two-day art workshop in silk-screen
printing for 290 second, third, and fourth grade students
at Spangdahlem Elementary School, Spangdahlem, Germany.
Students pulled their own prints on paper and T-shirts using
designs created by fourth grade artists, who based their
bold motifs on Alaskan Inuit primitive art as part of the
National Geographic JASON XIII: Frozen Worlds project. The
students, with a number of volunteer adult assistants, produced
more than 700 prints!
