Print Making

 

Description: For print making, we learned how to print with stencils and without. They also had vegetables that they wanted us to use to print some of the cool designs as well. For the first image shown, I used a dark green and teal color. I also used a snail stencil. Then, I used a broccoli to stamp the outside of the image. For the middle image, I used a leaf stencil in the middle with dark green. I then stamped the four corners with a pepper. With this one, I also attempted to write leaf with the celery, but it didn’t work because I didn’t realize that it mirrors. For the image on the right, I used an arrow stencil with purple and pink. Then, I let it dry. Then, I stamped the paper with the pepper with gold on top. For this project, we needed to make sure we got the sticky print maker wet enough, but not too wet for the print making to work. 

Extension Activity: To add to this lesson, the teacher could also teach the students about vegetables, how they grow, and etc. This would be a great science lesson to incorporate in the classroom, but still be able to make the art project. The students could also learn more about stencils and what they do to add to the lesson.
