My name is Weiying Guo. Why do I make art? I make art because it doesn't need words. An artist gives information and others can find many meanings in the art. It is interesting.

Before I moved to New York from China I studied art in high school. When I came to New York I met my teacher Mr. Sinclair. He told me about many free art classes. I have taken classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper Union, and now MoMA summer in the making.

In the MoMA printmaking class I learned about linocut, Etching, Lithography, Screenprint. The first class work we did was the letter, everyone designed and cut it. The letter was very hard to cut. When we finished carving the linocuts, I printed twenty-two pieces. In the twenty-two pieces I printed two different ways. When creating Xerox transfers we used the oil, the smell was all over the museum, and other people came in the room and always said what it is the smell? I did another project using stencils. The stencils is used was based on a photo I took. I tried a lot of ways to print. In the printmaking class everyone was making good prints, they had a lot of ideas. So I got new ideas. Now I know that pictures that one looked like drawings are actually print. Printmaking is so magical.
