2nd Grade Owl Printmaking


Second-graders applied their classroom study of raptors to the art room for this project.   Using books and photographs depicting owls, students made sketches of owls, then transferred their favorite sketch to foam printmaking blocks.  Several students made multiple prints of their owl in different colors, and were able to observe the effects of varying amounts of ink as well as the different colors on the clarity of their images.
