All 2nd graders students are giving back this Christmas!!! We are currently making Winter/Christmas cards for patients in local Danville nursing homes. Each student will be making two cards; one for themselves and one for the nursing home. To help make two cards quickly we are using printmaking as the way to make our art. Printmaking let's us make a couple of the same prints. Students will be experimenting with different colors of paper and ink. Students will also be learning so new vocabulary words like brayer, barren, and ink. If these words are new to you here is some help: brayer- a roller used to put ink onto the styrofoam plate, barren - a handheld tool that helps the artist rub the paper onto the plate so that all the ink is transferred, ink - it is kind of like paint but is stickier. I hope you have a great winter season and fantastic holidays.
