Printmaking Project

 

Summary: This was the lesson I taught with my partner. We based our printmaking lesson off of Andy Warhol’s works. We used foam plates as our print media. Our students were instructed to sketch images that represent themselves. Once they drew these sketches and put them on their foam plates, they started the printing process. This can be messy but the students printed 4 images and had to write sentences on why each symbol represented themselves.

Extension Activity: An extension activity I would use would be to partner students together and work on a bigger print based off of a topic in a different subject. For example, in science, students could create prints of bones or plants. This would make the project more fun and interactive. Then they would present the project together and complete a written assignment.
