Printmaking

Materials:

• 6x9 Styrofoam Plates
• Paint
• Rollers
• Construction Paper
• #2 Pencils
• Index Cards
• Glue

In this lesson we went over printmaking.  For this project we were given Styrofoam to draw symbols in.  The symbols we chose we wrote down on an index card and explained the meaning of each. Once the symbols were drawn on the Styrofoam we went to the paint station to roll paint onto the Styrofoam and then onto our piece of construction paper.  We used two different colors of paint and then glued our index card to the bottom.  

Extension Activity
For an extension activity for this project, I would have them research a historical event and have them find symbols that represented that event.
