printmaking

This is both a printing lesson and a Complimentary Colors lesson. It's done using styrofoam  6'' x 8'' pieces. The students draw their name  REVERSED and letters BACKWARD on a 6x8'' piece of paper., then use rulers to add patterns and designs onto their letters. The design are then taped to the styrofoam and the students go over all lines. When this is done, remove the paper ( which is generally in pieces) and deeped any lines which do not show up well. Print the styrofoam 4 times, let dry, and tape together.   Susan
