My Project
I would like to provide my students with an in-depth unit on printmaking where they will explore a variety of relief-printing styles. Throughout the 6-week unit, students will gain a greater understanding of the printmaking process and techniques by creating a single-color design print, hand-tinted print, a printmaking collage, and a reduction print.
My STEAM art students are encouraged to explore and experiment with various media and techniques through the elements and principles of art and design as well as meet the State Department of Education standards.
The grant provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce and explore the principle techniques of printmaking and provides a strong foundation for other printmaking techniques such as woodcut, intaglio, etching, lithography, collagraph, and monoprint/monotype. The printmaking unit will build a stronger foundation for the STEAM art program by providing another platform for expression. It can help spark students’ creativity and build greater interest in the visual arts. Moreover, it will help differentiate my art students from other local and regional art programs.
