7th and 8th Grade Art

We had a flurry of printmaking last week in art. Several students have experience and experimented with printmaking for many years with me and I wanted to try and come up with a new approach to pulling a print. We had several plywood block of wood that were donated to us through MOCA, so we decided to try a wood block print. Because the wood was plywood, we could not use the traditional printmaking tools, so we decided to make the images by hammering and wood burning the designs into the wood. It was an experiment and the students seemed to really enjoy the process.
