Pre K has spent several weeks making a variety of different collages which culminated in a finger puppet project. We used our excellent arranging and gluing skills and applied them to the printmaking process of Collagraphy. Next, we briefly discussed how printmaking is different from other types of art making. because it allows the artist to repeat a design OVER and OVER and OVER again! Students used a variety of different textures to work with such as fluffy yarn, smooth paper, foamy shapes, and rough cardboard to glue to create our printing plate. However, the the bubble wrap was by far the most popular and very temping for kids to pop! Students learned and practiced how artists use a brayer to spread the paint/ink all over their plate and then rub all over their plate to create an impression. The most exciting part for students was when it came time to peel off their paper and see their design repeated on their print.
