Professor Dean Kessman recently wrote an article for younger readers and their parents for "Hirschhorn Kids at Home" to inspire kids to make their own prints using kitchen items such as curry powder and berries. Kessmann challenges his students to experiment, step out of their comfort zones, and be confident trusting their feelings and instincts. For this article, he wrote about his Monochromatic Fields series.
