Original Grant Overview
Goal
My goal is for students to work together and communicate while they explore visual art through printmaking. The endless possibilities of printmaking will help students learn that there are no mistakes. This will open a new way of building self confidence while learning how to learn, create, and execute.
What will be done with my students
Students will use foam print plates to create their own repeated designs to learn the printmaking progress. Inspired by Andy Warhol, students will create a checkered pattern using brayers. By studying works of previous artists, students will examine cultural and historical influences that inspire artist. Then, students will create their own printing plates to create contrast and texture through overlapping using ink and gel plates.
Benefits to my students
Printmaking is a wonderful way for students to explore and produce visual art while problem solving, reflecting, communicating, decision making, and working together to grow artistically. Through purposeful practice, young artists learn to manage, master, and refine simple, then complex techniques.
