Students learned printmaking vocabulary and were able to try out five different types of printmaking: Mono print using Gelli plates, relief print using Soft-Kut, very simple Screen printing, collograph using cardboard and other mixed materials, and relief print using styrofoam. I gave them a suggested theme for each station or they could come up with their own ideas.
At the end of the printmaking unit, a few think I’m goofy, others decide that they probably won’t try it again, and many begin to understand my love for printmaking,
