Print Making

Today we did print making with an artist, Mrs. Kulyk. It was of our animal from our Pourquoi tale.  I did a killer whale, Brooke did a porcupine. Brooke’s title is how the porcupine got its quills and mine was how the killer whale got its white markings. Maybe you can make one too. These are the things you need: 1 piece of square wood, black, red, silver or gold paint, sandpaper, paper, wooden tool, a Styrofoam square that fits the wood, paint roller and a sharpie. These are the steps to make it:
1.    Sand the edges of the wood
2.    Paint your wood either silver or black
3.    Draw your animal on the square piece of paper
4.    Make an outline around your animal
5.    Tape it to the Styrofoam
6.    Go over your animal hard but don’t go through the Styrofoam
7.      Take the tape off and your picture off
8.     Use the wooden tool and go over the lines one more time
9.    Cut it out around your outline that you made around your animal
10.           Get some paint (black, red, silver or gold) on the roller and paint it on your animal
11.           Take your animal and place it face down on the wood
12.           Press it down for 5 seconds then take it off
13.           Now let it dry for about 5 to 7 minutes
14.           Do some touch-ups with the sharpie and sign it

They turned out great! They will be up on the school bulletin board permanently. Come down to see them later this  year.
