First Major Projects

Grade 7-Students are working on Illuminated Letters with a three color reduction print. All students have completed designs, and made the first cut into their printing blocks. Most have completed the first color print edition of 6. Students will continue onto the second cutting and printing. We will continue the printing process through the rest of this week.

Grade 6-Students are working on Ancient Mexican print collages. All students have completed designs, and transfered designs into their printing blocks. Most have finished the 6 print edition and are ready to start collages. After the collages are completed students will mount onto brown kraft paper and use a dot print design to complete a border. We will continue the printing and collage process through the rest of this week.

Please prepare for our field trip to Springfield Little Theatre to view the production of "Pinocchio". The cost will be $7-$8. Forms will be coming home by the end of the week. We will use a few days in class to explore theatre arts before the trip.
