Description: This lesson was on printmaking using a jelly plate. The teachers helped me to use texture squares to create a pattern. They also helped me to learn how to roll the pattern onto a sheet of paper. We then got to use a stencil to create a design. Finally, we created our own stencil and created a square of it. This was a project in which we discussed Andy Warhol and the printmaking that he has done. This project was interesting, because it incorporated themes of advertising, and it taught students a new procedure for creating artwork.
Extension: This project could be used around Mothers' Day again for students to create a Mothers' Day card. They could also extend their learning by using stamps. It is a process that is less difficult, so teachers could use stamps more with younger students. When students have taken ownership of the processes required to create cards, it could be a fun activity to use with any time that he students are expected to create a card. The teacher could pass this procedure on to the next teacher so that students can continue to enjoy making meaningful and intricate cards.
