Radial Printmaking (4th) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this project - AND so do the kids!
:) We begin by talking about what a mandala is, how it has radial symmetry, and even watch an amazing video clip I found on YouTube of some Tibetan monks creating one with sand (the video clip is a must - it puts the kids in awe). I tell the kids that the radial symmetry found in the mandala will be the inspiration for our very own printmaking project! Then we look at an amazingly awesome PowerPoint I put together to show students how to properly create their printmaking plates so that when rotated and printed, it will create a print which shows radial symmetry.
After viewing the PowerPoint, each student gets a piece of graph paper which has 3- 2"x2" areas blocked out (this is the size of the Styrofoam printmaking plate they will make). I leave 3 blank squares so that they can make a couple sketches for their plate and choose their favorite. Another great alternative is to color oil pastel on your paper before printing!
Printmaking with Gelatin. I had been planning on trying gelatin printmaking with my Saturday morning kid’s art class for two years, but I was intimidated by how complex the process sounded after it was explained to me by a colleague…Let me clarify, this is SOOO EASY!
I am kicking myself for not trying this sooner. It is also incredibly exciting and rewarding, so do yourself a favor and go buy a couple of boxes of gelatin at the grocery store and try this method of monotype printmaking ASAP! Guaranteed fun for everyone :D. Essentially, what you will be doing is making a firm gelatin plate that will be rolled with ink and a print will be pulled from. Since every print requires a new layer of ink and a new compositional arrangement, no two prints are the same.
