Print Making

Print making is a great way to further explore positive and negative spaces.  Allowing the students to carve out their own design onto styrofoam, or easy cut out blocks.  The students will also need tools to do the carving, which can be found at art supplies stores.  You will also need enough plastic boards for the entire class, paint and rollers.

                                                   

When we did this in class we used different colour construction paper to put the print on, which added a nice pop to a lot of the pieces.  We also used a lot of coloured paint, but this can be done using just black paint, which adds a nice dramatic look.

I carved two panda's and bamboo and layered the two on top of one another.

 I borrowed the sun from a classmate and carved my daughter's names.
