2nd Graders Give Back

The 2nd grade students are starting to create Winter/Holiday cards for patients in local nursing homes. We are creating our cards using a printmaking technique. Each student will be making two cards, one for the nursing home and another for themselves to give away. We started the project by coming up with four different ideas. The students tried to keep the drawings big and simple because the type of printmaking we are doing needs those two things. After the sketches are finished, we started drawing on a styrofoam plate and then carving into the plate. Next week we will begin printing the plates. The ideas and sketches are looking very creative. Here are a couple samples!
