Materials: Speedball ink Brayer 90 lb paper Wonderfoam shapes school smart fluorescent paint Big Kid's Choice paintbrushes Elmer's Glue-all This background was done with School Smart Washable Fluorescent Paint Here's a short time lapse video on how to paint your background! These backgrounds were done with Sax Liquid Watercolors (SIDE NOTE: REGULAR FOAM DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS PROJECT! IT FALLS OFF!) ALSO: Make sure you start in the corner of your square and work your way out! Make both sides match or be symmetrical! Like this one! Here's a little time lapse of me creating another printing plate MAKE SURE YOU USE A DIFFERENT KIND OF FOAM, LIKE THESE WONDERFOAM SHAPES!! or these Darice sticky foam sheets would work well too! & no glue needed! Here's a time lapse of me gluing the shapes on. Start in one corner and work your way out, making sure both sides match, or are symmetrical! Then, you're ready to ink up and start printing! Make sure you keep your corner design in the middle of your paper as you're rotating! Make a mark on the corner that you want to put in the middle, so you can see it when you're printing! Here's Dr Fambrough's class doing a great job! Here are some awesome artists from Mrs. McAllister's class!! I was literally shrieking for joy at the way these turned out! Mrs. Stacey is so proud of y'all!!! <3 Here are some prints from Mrs. Fambrough's class!

Can you believe we only have 8 days of school left? Where did this year go? Looking back on all of the projects that we completed, I am very pleased with the quality and quantity of work that my students produced. I truly believe that I have the most talented, wonderfully amazing students in the world! While looking back over all of the projects, I was shocked and a little upset with myself that we didn't do printmaking this year. While in college, I LOVED printmaking. I even did an independent study in it and my entire senior art exhibition was printmaking. We did printmaking in 7th grade last year but I wanted to kick it up a notch this year and make it a bit more challenging. I decided to try reduction printmaking! For this project, I took a picture of the students and used paint.net to posterize the photos into 3 colors (black, grey and white). Students shaded on the back and transferred all of their white areas onto the linoleum. We use easy carve linoleum at school and it's so easy for the kids. We haven't had any slips (or bad cuts) this year! Students used the gauge to carve away all of the areas of their print that would be left white. Since we were printing on white paper, we didn't need to print this part. All that would be left would be the grey and black areas. They chose a color and mixed it with some white to make a tint. Then students pulled a proof. A proof is a practice print so they can see what it would look like. If they were happy with their proof, they could pull 10 or more quality prints. The students discussed what made a quality print and here is their list... enough ink, no white spots linoleum carved away where it was meant to be carved away (no stray marks) Ink has an orange peel texture No finger prints No smudges (where the paper slipped on the plate) After they printed 10 or more quality prints, they had to carve away all of the grey area, leaving only the black areas to print. They then mixed a shade of ink and printed on top of their first prints. Here is the final result
I made these collograph prints with very young children. The one pictured is my example. They started with a piece of craft foam and scissors. I explained that they should try cutting out different shapes: some small, some slightly bigger, and to try and use some straight cuts and some curved or wiggley cuts. They didn't need to worry about it looking like an object that could be recognized. One little girl did opt to cut out a flower and a little boy did a house. We used white glue to attach the craft foam to a piece of corrugated cardboard and we let out printing plates dry until the next class. For printing we just used tempera paint and little foam rollers that can usually be purchased in the home improvement section of the Dollar Store. I encouraged them to print many images on one sheet of paper. I'm starting a newsletter with DIY templates, news from my Etsy shop, and step-by-step photos of some of the techniques for my artwork and illustrations. The newsletter in early June 2018 will include a template for a simple pop-up book to make with children. Sign-ups on the right-hand side of the blog.
A tale of an IAEA Student Chapter Roundtable Presentation. [flickr id=”6463833451″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”none”] Before the IAEA Conference, my colleague in the Art Education MAT program, Keli Campbell, and I applied to present at the IAEA Student Chapter Roundtable. Our main interest and goal was to present a demonstration and lesson plan idea on Collagraph Printing. [flickr id=”6463825895″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”none”] What is Collagraphy? Collagraphy is a print-making process where various materials are glued to a hardboard to create a raised texture. The collaged collagraph plate can then be printed with a press or by hand with a roller. [flickr id=”6463828383″ thumbnail=”medium_640″ overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”center”] A few examples of various materials that can be used for Collagraph textures are: leaves, seeds, string (hemp), acrylic paint, crushed paper, bubble rap, sandpaper, cardboard, grass, and many others...

Printable The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai Collaboration Poster—2 options included (with colors assigned and without) plus a bonus coloring page. This art activity is intended to complement/supplement any lessons on printmaking, Hokusai, and/or his famous artwork, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, ...or just use it to decorate your room! This collaborative poster is the perfect way to start a unit or cap one off. It is an engaging and entertaining way for students to work together to create a large poster of, arguably, one of the most famous pieces of art in the world! The final poster makes a great classroom focal point and a lasting example of collaboration for your students. I recommend this resource be used with grades PreK-8th. It is perfect for classrooms and homeschools. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿: • Art shows • An auditorium • A hallway • Your classroom bulletin board 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦 • There are 30 pieces that must be printed. • Each piece fits on a regular 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. • The final poster is approx. 27" x 33", depending on your printer settings. • You will need crayons, markers, or colored pencils in blue, light blue, brown, orange, and pink. There are two options so you can choose what works best for you and your students—making it great for any age. Both options are very easy. Each student is given one page of the famous masterpiece to color according to the instructions. Once all sheets are colored & cut out, they are then assembled to reveal a large collaboration mosaic/poster/mural of The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱. Students will follow the colors assigned using a color key on each page. 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱. Let your students color the poster whatever colors they want (or that you assign). 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲: Group collaboration posters are a lot of fun and leave a lasting impression. However, students don't get to walk away with anything tangible to show their families. So, I have included a bonus one-page coloring page for your students to color and take home. This is also very useful for early finishers. I hope your students enjoy creating their version of this The Great Wave off Kanagawa collaboration poster and, no doubt, all the meaningful conversations that will come from it.
