In this class, students will learn about different types of printmaking such as, relief using foam and linoleum, using found objects (leaves, apples, string, etc.), and monoprinting. First, students will look around and find objects that they can use to make interesting relief style designs. Kids will also learn relief techniques using foam blocks and printmaking tools. Carving techniques will be taught using linoleum blocks, and finally, monoprinting will also be explored using small pieces of plexiglass, water soluble oil paint, and brushes. Students will have an entire edition of prints by the end of class!
Printmaking
Print, Paint, Repeat for Kids
Dive into the art of printmaking! Using wood blocks, kids will learn how to build surfaces onto the block to create images and prints. Kids will also learn about relief printmaking, where students carve into foam to make beautiful impressions. Some everyday objects can be used in printmaking, and Janice will show kids what can be used so they can try printmaking at home! Kids will leave class with a series of prints and a new skill!
Shapeland for Kids
Students will explore shapes in this class, and how they can form stamps, prints, and textures. Kids will be making projects using rolling pins, creating their own stamps, and exploring how to use common everyday objects to make beautiful paintings.
Kids Printmaking Workshop
Get out of school and into the art studio! In this class, students will learn about the basics of relief printmaking. Throughout the day students will learn how to plan their composition and carve their vision into foam blocks to print a relief piece. Students will look at Picasso, Hans Holbein, Hokusai, Tom Huck and other artists for inspiration. By the end of the class students will have a good understanding of how printmaking works as well as a multi-copy edition of their work.
Art Exploration for Kids
Students will explore art with a variety of different mediums and techniques to diversify their creativity. We will focus on learning the basics of sculpture, printmaking, painting, and weaving. Kids will learn about 2D and 3D shapes, create sculpture fossils, carve blocks for printmaking, and make colorful weavings in this creative class!
