When I was at an IB workshop earlier this year, the presenter stated that "building skills" is the new fad. Here I thought it never went out of fashion. In the spirit of developing skills and taking risks, we embarked on a block reduction printmaking project. The minimum amount of colors to be used was four. Below is the process and results.

| Ana was the most ambitious artist clocking in 7 colors. |
| Clara made her image based on a series of sketches about the rainy season and the street near her house. |

| Saki ventured using 2 different blocks. |

| Yema's print is based off sketches of her grandmother. |
| Clara's final print |
| Linda's final print |
| Yema's experimental print. |

These are absolutely beautiful! What talented students you have. How long did this project take?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. about 3-4 90 minute classes. Students can usually print 1-2 per class.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! do you have an unit plan that you'd be willing to share?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delayed reply. Thank you for your comment. I'm too old, I don't make unit or lesson plans anymore. haha. You can send me an e-mail at bobrobart@gmail.com and I can tell you how I group printmaking projects together.
