Above is a drawing done By Erin F. He used google draw for the whole thing! Usually students do not do quite this well with google draw, but Mr. Erin F. did this in under and hour or so, which is pretty amazing.

Ms. Hannah did a great example of some simple printmaking using scrap cardboard.

This is is a good example of what the room looks like when we’re doing printmaking.

Potato Printing In Ms. Kalt’s class

I usually do potato prints along with printmaking every year, but this year, I’m not in my room due to co-vid restrictions. So it generally did not happen. Ms. Kalt suggested we try her class with potato printing and it would have been hard to say no. I enjoy it, and a lot of vocabulary and concepts are bought into play when you study printmaking. Above is the table where part of the action happened.

Above is a student getting started with the carving aspect of potato printing. I usually use spoons with the younger ones. It works fine to get the idea of removing material to get an image suitable for inking up and printing.

Above is a student rolling paint out on a piece of plexiglass, in preparation to apply the paint to the potato.

A row of activity and creation in various stages.

Another shot of the table where the paint was spread out and applied to the potatoes. Oddly calm and quiet looking.

He looks to be pondering his next move. I see potatoes inked up and some printed images, so things are going well.

Another proud creation!

Aynur Creations

Currently at the time of this being written, Aynur is a 5th grade student. I usually see her when I see Ms. Nargiz, so I thought I better make her a page too.
