Preparation/Consideration
(1) Prepare slides that even first-time learners of woodcut printing can understand.
(2) The art works of senior students can be presented as projection slides; however, introducing their art works on the website will provide students with the opportunity to work with computers as well as to raise their interests and concerns about the materials.
