Ever wonder what your child's dream house looks like? Ever wonder what they would build if they could? Today we explored this idea in a printmaking class!
For this class I did a full demonstration before letting the kids go on the project. I talked them through the process. Let's begin with the white paper! I take my cardboard square and dip one of the thin edges into the paint. Then I press the painted edge onto my paper. Repeating this process on my page I am able to imagine (and then create!) the overall shape of my house and all the interesting details I want to add. The kids added: doors, windows, roofs, awnings, chimneys, ladders, slides(!), kites, stars and more!
For materials we had:
Large pieces of black and white construction paper
Washable black paint
Washable orange paint (in honor of the Halloween season)
And 2" squares of cut cardboard
After finishing the black and white pieces, we switched to black paper and orange paint for a Halloween themed house. Next week we will add color to these pieces.
