As a part of the Art II curriculum, students must be exposed to different types of media that will continue to build upon one another as they move through the levels of upper art. At this level, students are introduced to the relief form of printmaking and the history behind it. Students in this unit will learn to carve, ink, and print a linocut block. Also attached at the end of this unit is the summative test. Intended for an Art II class.
In the first day of this fifth grade unit on printmaking, students were asked to create a design of a fisherman, based upon information learned about Chinese printmaking and designs.
In the second day of this unit, fifth grade students incised their designs onto their Scratch-Foam, by using a pencil or wooden tool.
Fifth grade students in this class were introduced to how to create a print of their incised design and allowed to begin making prints.
