Switching Gears

We are currently working on exercises to prepare for our next unit. At this point everyone is done with their still life and the projects have been graded and returned. We have been studying color theory and using watercolor to practice what we have talked about. We will then connect it to our printmaking unit by having the students work with different types of line to create a new collage. We will begin our printmaking unit on Wednesday or Thursday. First we will discuss printmaking and the many different ways artists have used it in the past. We will also discuss its importance in todays society. We will then discuss the guidelines of the project and begin working.
