Printmaking

Students spent two weeks learning about printmaking. We watched several YouTube videos about printmaking to understand the different kinds. Students were told they would be creating a relief print with a partner. One partner was required to create a design with curved lines, and the other partner had to create a design with straight lines. Both partners started with a sketch and traced it. The traced drawing was then put face down on a piece of printmaking foam. Last, students used carving tools to flatten the background of the foam to make the design seem raised.

Everyone's design was amazing and beautiful. Great job!!! I am very proud of you!!

Celtic Design

Celtic design is something I stumbled upon in high school and fell in love with it. I wanted students to have an appreciation and knowledge of it. Students were asked to create a design that represented themselves in some way.
