2nd graders worked on collagraph printmaking!
We looked at the prints of artist Faviana Rodriguez and had a discussion of how the artist could make multiple works that look exactly the same! Students came up with ideas on how this could be achieved - the artist used a copy machine, she was so good at art that she could create the same art over and over!
Each student cut foam pieces, arranged and glued them on a piece of cardboard. They then used a brayer to roll printmaking ink over the pieces and pressed a piece of printed paper to create a print. Students looked at their first print, discussed what worked/ didn't work for them and created a second print.
3rd grade created a clay cupcake using a combination of pinching for the lining and coiling for the frosting! There was high engagement with this lesson and I can't wait to fire these for students to paint on.
