6th Grade Project: Printmaking - The Print Block

The 6th graders have their printmaking unit.  This is unit covers an introduction to printmaking, the making of a printing block, the printing process, proofs, series, masking, and painted prints.  This is an extensive unit, though we try to take step by step.

After being introduced to printmaking, students began the design and assembling of their print block.

Students began with a series of design sketches.  Once they finished these sketches they chose their favorite design to make into their printing block.  They used string and glue to create their line work on their blocks.
