Printmaking

For this project, we began by discussing the history of printmaking and about the artist Hokusai. We created our prints by rolling paint onto a gel square, then adding a stencil to create a design. We then placed the paper on the gel square and rolled over the paper to transfer the design from the gel square to the paper. After we had completed at least 4 prints that we were satisfied with, we glued them onto a piece of construction paper. 

For an extension activity, we could go even more in-depth and using Chinese letter stencils that I would provide, students could print their own names. We could then string them together and hang them around the classroom.
