Print Making



The print making project was very difficult for me, but it was very fun. There were a lot of different principles and elements of design used to make this fun and simple project. First we had to draw out our design; this project was based on the up and coming holiday, Christmas. Then we had to use tools to smash the styro-foam down so that when we put on the ink it would make a print. It was a very fun and exciting project and the outcome was unknown. I think the project turned out great and they can be used as a gift to anyone during the Christmas or winter season.

Extension: Students could learn how to make numerous books. I would have them do a free writing assignment about their birth or a fun experience. Then I would want them to share this with as many people as they could. I would teach them how they make books and paintings for multiple people with only doing one copy. Then students will be able to make multiple copies and give them to parents, grandparents, or anyone else they decide.
