I love printmaking with the students. This semester Art 8 students created winter theme inspired relief prints using "Easy-Cut" printing plates. Students planned their prints by sketching their designs in pencil on paper. Then, they transferred the designs to the printing plates and used black sharpies to indicate the ares that were intended to remain black. Next, they carved their printing plates using carving tools. And, finally they hand printed their plates on different colored papers. the results were great and made for a nice art display during December and January.
