Art 1 Materials:
This was a fun project the students enjoyed because they were able to personalize their characters. Students filled out a worksheet that contained about 50 random questions that ranged from their favorite food, celebrity, a vegetable they hate, etc. From this worksheet, students selected one inanimate object and added their own physical facial features to it. They also added their names to the print for a more personal effect. Students had to cut, layer and glue each piece. One thing that was difficult for them during this project was creating texture. For example, if their eyes had two circles placed within each other, they had to cut 2 separate circles and layer them on top of each other. Some students would just draw the extra circle and it wouldn’t come out in the print because it did not create a 3-dimensional texture. To print each character they used block printing ink and spread it across the plexiglass to evenly distribute onto the brayers. They then used the brayers to spread the ink onto the collagraph and pressed it upon a bright colored paper. They made multiple prints of their characters.
