Our First Printmaking Project

First and second graders learned collagraphy technique. It was our first time doing printmaking at BCC art studio. We learned the printing process and practiced the routine. First, we made a collage of a bug or an animal using think paper. The following week, we used our collage as a printing plate.  We inked the plate using a brayer, put a piece of paper on top of the plate and then burnished. It is always a fun surprise to see the prints.
