Grafix Lesson Plan: Lesson 21
Project Description: Students will work with the element of art; balance to create a radial symmetry collagraph.
Designed by: Susie Belzer
Difficulty: Easy
Materials:
- Grafix Chipboard
- Grafix Artist-tac
- Grafix Inking Palette
- Pattern blocks (for practice)
- Foam shapes
- Printing brayer
- Printing ink
Steps to Make This:
- Create radial designs using flat foam then use Grafix Artist-tac to adhere the shapes in place on a piece of Grafix Chipboard. The chipboard will become a collagraph.
- Introduce students to the printmaking terms; collagraph, print, edition, brayer, ink, etc. and demonstrate how to ink up the collagraph using printing ink, a brayer, and the Grafix Inking Palette. Have students create an edition of three or more prints. Students should sign and number their prints when complete.
