Grade 6 Shape Prints

Students in Mrs. Concannon's 6th grade art class worked on shape prints.  

Students created thumbnail sketches for possible designs repeating one shape.   The chosen design is drawn on the printing plate with grey areas to prepare for carving.  Next, the printing plate is carefully carved.  

A finished print has proper ink coverage, is neat and signed with edition number and title and name.  

Here are some photos of students in action!
