1st Grade

First Grade
 Students learned about the famous artist Andy Warhol and discussed what they noticed in his art work. We talked about the color, line, and shapes in his work. This let the students understand printmaking and visual see what their task will be. Students got to explore a new way of mark making with the styrofoam and how simple lines and shapes can transform into a whole new way of making art. 
    It took a few times teaching this lesson to get the students printing smoothly and successfully with the limited materials we had. I started with the lighter paint first and just added the darker paint on top to mix the colors and not waste materials. Students also had to share rollers but by stressing how important pressing down is students counted and pressed while waiting making the prints more successful.
