Characteristics of the printmaking in the expanded field, changes in understanding of the printmaking, new mediums, the role of curator and my art project in the expanded field of printmaking are presented. Lesson plans, which represent models or possible approaches for introduction of new printmaking paradigm into art lessons, are included in the conclusion of theoretical part. One of the lesson plans was carried out as art workshop.
