About my class

The materials selected are chosen with the expresss intention of introducing printmaking into the high school curriculum. Currently we are without a printing press and make do with other techniques but I would love the students to be able to experience the process and aesthetic achieved when using a press. A sufficient press and related materials would help me achieve this higher level instruction about the medium. These materials would help us achieve the printmaking standards listed in the Printmaking 1-7715 document, revised version 2008, May 2018 (CPD-VAR-SG-7115). Some of the standands but not all that will be achieved are as follows: Printmaking Course Goals: 1. To demonstrate and/or document problem-solving and critical thinking skills in solving visual problems usinf the elements of art and the principles of design. [NS: VA:Cr1HS.1I, VA:1.HS.2I, VA:Cn10.HS.1I] 2. To use printmaking vocabulary in conjunction with a variety of techniques, skills, media, and processesses in order to visually communicate meaning. [NS: VA:Cr2.HS.1I] 3. To develope innovative ideas for creating and refining art, both individually and collaborativwely, to meet and identified standard. [NS: VA:Cr2.HS.1I, VA:Cr3.HS.1I] 5. To understand and apply positive studio behavior including responsibility, organization, self-motivation, following directions, and an awareness od ethics of appropriation. [NS: VA:Cr2.HS.2I, VA: Cr3. HS.2II] 7.

[NS: VA:Pr6.HS.1I, VA:Re7.HS.1I, VA:Re7.HS.2I] 9. To identify and discuss how history and culture have influenced and been influenced by printmaking and artists throughout time, and to copare and contrast current cultures and trends qwith historical examples. [NS: VA:Cn11.HS.1I] Lastly, two other materials were added to my request, sketchbooks and multi-cultural skintoned paint. Our studio currently lacks these additional supplies.
