5th Grade Relief Prints

 5th Grade Reduction Relief Portrait Prints

My 5th grade girls are knocking their prints out!! I am so happy with their results.

We started with an intro to printmaking that allowed them to see all the different printmaking techniques, printmaking tools, and an introduction to all the vocabulary for printmaking: Print, Brayer, Baren,  Matrix, Ghost print, Relief Print, Registration....

We looked at German Expressionism Relief Prints from artists such as 

Emil Nolde

Edvard Munch

Then they went to work creating their own unique reduction relief print. Students loved the process and had a blast creating these fun portrait prints!
