These first graders were able to get some printmaking experience! Our first day we learned about printmaking - what it is, why artists do it - different ways they do it etc. I had buckets filled with found materials at the tables. I showed the students how to roll their paint into thin layers, and taught them the three steps to print. 1. DIP in the paint 2. PRESS on the paper and 3. PRINT, lift the object off the paper to see your print! The students were instructed to print each of the objects one time on their experiment paper so they could get an idea of what they objects would look like! Then I had them create some kind of pattern on that paper as well! The second day of this lesson we were creating our robots! We used the same materials and our experiment sheets to come up with what shapes and objects would work best for different parts of their robots! We based their robots off of humans to give them an idea to roll with but this requirement could for sure be changed for more creativity! The students got to explore and create their robot prints on tin foil to make them look like metal!
These first graders loved the experience of being printmakers, but boy did their art shirts come in handy these couple of days!
Objectives:
Learner will be able to EXPERIMENT stamping printmaking techniques using found
objects onto a piece of paper that will serve as their experimental printmaking paper
Learner will be able to CREATE a pattern by stamping the found objects of their choice
onto their experiment paper in a pattern
Learner will be able to CREATE symmetry while creating the arms and legs of their robot
Learner will be able to CREATE a monoprint robot based off the human figure.
Vocabulary:
- Printmaking
- monoprint
