Printmaking

This is my project where we got to experiment with printmaking. We learned about the Japanese printmaker Hokusai and what printmaking is. I had my classmates use gelli plates, stencils, and paint to make their prints. They would use stencils and stamps to create the designs. They had to make a least four different prints and display them on their choice of construction paper.

For an extension activity you could have students make their own stencils that express their personalities and interests. This way you could get to know your class better and still have fun doing printmaking.
