In 4th and 5th grade students learned about printmaking. They loved the MOMA website that shows different printing techniques step by step http://www.moma.org/interactives/projects/2001/whatisaprint/flash.html. After sketching designs in their sketchbooks students "etched" with pencil onto Styrofoam printing plates. The next class students made a series of four prints and learned how to sign, title, and label a series. It's a quick lesson, but it's a great opportunity to introduce new tools and art terms.
