Holiday Printmaking



Above are two examples of printmaking.  To create printmaking, each student was given a couple pieces styrofoam people. We were then given to wooden tools to etch a design into the styrofoam. On one piece we were to use shapes and lines.  On the other piece we were to create a holiday scene.  After etching the images we then took paint and rolled over the top of the styrofoam.  Once coated with paint, we pressed the scene onto a piece of construction paper.

Another way printmaking can be used would be during English.  Students can create a image using printmaking.  Then the students will be asked to write a story based on the image they created.  Their story then can be read in front of the class.
