Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am lucky enough to serve as the art teacher for Pre-K through 5th grade students that receive 100% free and reduced lunch. Even though our students may come with private struggles, they are eager learners and extremely creative!

My students are so interested in the printing process.

My hope is to bring Gelli plates to the room as a new and interesting way to create prints. Gelli is a fascinating way to create monoprints. Students will use different materials and paints to create interesting textures and one of a kind prints. Gelli is a fast way to add multiple layers to really tell a story. For students that struggle with stamina of painting or drawing, this is a way for them to feel successful in art in a new way.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Mrs. C.
Grades 3-5
