Description:
This project was called Printmaking and would be made in a 5th-grade classroom. Before the lesson, she had a brief PowerPoint on the artist Andy Warhol who created the original Campbell Soup label. After the PowerPoint, the first thing that she had us do was draw an ocean scene. We could draw whatever animals and plants we wanted in our picture. We did this on a plain sheet of paper. Once we did this we taped our plain piece of paper on a styrofoam sheet where we traced our drawing into the styrofoam sheet. After that, we colored our styrofoam sheet with Crayola markers. She made sure to tell us not to color in the indents on the paper because then our final project wouldn't turn out right. The final step was to take a watercolor sheet of paper, get it wet, wipe it off, place our styrofoam paper on the watercolor paper, and roll it out with a roller. When we lifted the styrofoam paper off and we had stamped our drawing onto the watercolor paper.
Extension Activity:
I would use this activity after reading a story to my students. I would incorporate this project into Language Arts by having my students draw a scene from the book we just read. I would then have them trace it on a styrofoam sheet and color it with Crayola markers. Finally, I would have them paste it on a watercolor piece of paper. I would then display their artwork in the hallway and have a little snip about the book and that each student drew a scene from the book. This allows students to show off their creativity and shows that everyone sees things a bit differently.
