Printmaking was a lot of fun. I loved the idea of the students making their own designs in the Styrofoam! I also like the of having the children write about their project. I am not sure how I would use the different type of paint. It makes me nervous using a paint that seemed temperamental and sticky but I loved the process otherwise.
EXTENSION ACTIVITY:
Printmaking can be used in many areas. I could foresee using this technique in Language Arts. Students are expected to write many thanks you for various people. For example, they may need to write a note of gratitude for circus tickets that were donated while they are in elementary. Students could create a design on different circus shapes such as elephants or a big top tent. They could then use them to design the card or to create a picture for the person who paid for their tickets.
