New lesson for fourth grade will combine pop art, printmaking and corn.
Will be great for using up all the random 2 x 9" scraps of foam I seem to have inherited. Thinking we can get this done in three classes. Art history connection with artist John Clem Clarke. Lesson plan for sale on TpT.
Updated 3/9/19 - This lesson is still a favorite. Just added a time lapse video to the listing.
When you actually start doing the printmaking, did you have them paint in the alternate color single kernels with a brush right onto the styrofoam printing plate? I was wondering how you kept them from putting too much paint onto the plate, so that the ballpoint pen indents didn't get filled up with ink.
ReplyDeleteit would probably work best if you use a breyer (a printmaking tool that has a roller).
DeleteI am currently trying a new way medium for printmaking, instead of printing inks. Acrylic paint with retarder medium mixed in. It's supposed to slow down the acrylic paint drying time. Have you tried this?
ReplyDeleteJoy - these are marker prints. They colored with the lightest color first then added 2 or 3 other colors for variety. They wet the printing paper with a clean sponge and transfer the marker onto the wet paper by burnishing. Haven't tried the acrylic with retarder before. Thanks for sharing that idea.
