Description: To begin this project we were introduced to the concept of printmaking and how there are many different materials you can use. We started out with painting our whole paper with water colors and using the wet-on-wet method. This was then set aside to dry while we started on our printmaking plate. To create our plate we used a styrofoam base and traced our desired image on there a few times so it was indented. Then we moved to the print making station where we rolled ink onto our plates. After rolling the ink you can turn it over onto the main paper and press down so the image appears!
Extension Activity: Students can pick their favorite interest/hobby and draw an object that represents that. Also having them use some of their favorite colors! Students that enjoy basketball can print a basketball/net or students that are in music can draw their instrument.
