I Caught a Fish This BIG (Printmaking Powers)!

Help me give my students the opportunity to experience gyotaku (Japanese fish printing) and other monoprint skills. Printmaking is an art form that emphasizes math, science, other cultures, and art skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Augustus's classroom raised $340

My Students

I only get to see my students forty minutes a week, but during that time they are boundless in their creativity and imagination. They love learning about artists, composers, genres, and styles from all over the globe, making their own world an even bigger place. Their ability to use their skills to create on their own always astounds me.

Children should see themselves in what we study, but they should also see their neighbors and friends.

My students come from a wide range of economic and racial backgrounds, so I try to chose art and music units that expose them to a wide range of cultures and stories. I hope that the more good they see from the world, the more they will take pride in their own part of it.

My Project

My students love printmaking. Unfortunately, our school has very limited resources, not even enough for a class set, so we can only do printmaking projects in small groups, and only currently with the 6th grade, which is a shame because gyotaku and printmaking have so many cross curriculum applications.

These supplies let us experiment and learn hands on not only artmaking skills, but integrating science, math, and social studies concepts.

Imagine kindergarteners seeing and experiencing how printing works, 1st graders discovering monoprinting and why it only works once, 2nd graders designing an aquarium habitat of printed fish, 4th graders printing native fish and labeling their parts, 5th graders creating a fish dinner collage with garnish, serving platter, and tablecloth. There are so many applications!
