<<>> ❄️ Winter Printmaking with 4th & 5th ❄️ <<>> 

    I have always wanted to try printing white ink on a contrasting darker paper.  In December, 4th and 5th grade tried this technique with winter printmaking.  First, they each designed a unique foam stamp.  We used foam dots to make a fun snow effect.  Next, they printed with white ink on black, blue or purple paper.  Finally, we switched to white paper and color ink for a printmaking extravaganza!  Each student had a chance to print as many as they wanted to with white and color inks to create cool artworks plus, holiday gifts.  I think the prints would make a neat postcard as well.  The whole project turned out to be really fun and students had an excellent time.  It was a great way to practice printmaking and learn about local art history by adding in a quick video about the Folly Cove Designers. I will defiantly continue to teach this project!
