This project uses Styrofoam printmaking material. After reading Where The Wild Things Are,by Maurice Sendak each
student did 4 thumbnail drawings in their sketchbook in order to design their own original
wild thing print. They use their favorite one to press into the foam to later make prints. We started our printmaking this week and will continue printing
over the course of two classes.
We the use of line and shape. I encouraged kids to use lots of line to create texture which make the final prints more interesting to view. Students were introduced to the concept of texture in visual arts which is the perceived surface quality of a work of art.
It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs and
is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Use of
texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of messages and emotions. They had a lot of fun with this project and it was a fantastic way to teach texture.
