Creating Prints

This project is all about printmaking. It starts with a foam plate that was pressed in with a pencil/crayon to make an animal or pattern. After the indents have been made, we move over to another table where a variety of colors are available. To make the actual print color, students must use a brayer to roll the ink onto the foam plate. After the plate is evenly coated, students will press down their design to reveal their very own design. The next step is using an opposite color to fill in the background. This project was very enjoyable and I can see how the students will enjoy the process. 

An extension for this project could be that as a class we all tape together our prints to create one large class print.
