Pre-K has been busy rubbing and rubbing and RUBBING
in the art studio! The first day each artist was given a blue textured plate,
which they quickly learned was very different from the type they eat off of or
see at the dinner table. Each plate had
a different texture/pattern. Some of
the designs reminded students of spider webs, blocks, and raindrops.
We learned that in order to make a print we needed to
pinch our crayons and lay them down as if they were going to sleep. Then we use our muscles to RUB RUB and
RUB. After we had some practice with
this, for the second day we got to
choose from a mystery box and picked out all different rubbing treasures. Some artists found keys, ribbon, stencils, and rubber sheets with holes to be
their favorites. What do these rubbings
make you think of? Next we will be moving on in our printmaking unit to
stamping. Stay tuned.
