Artist of the Week 12/19/2018

5th Graders have been working on a unit on printmaking. They have been having some great results! Consistently getting a quality print is a difficult skill to master. Students have to get just the right amount of ink on their printing plate with their brayer. The brayer is the roller that we use to apply the ink to the printing plate. This is definitely one of those “Goldilocks Moments” where you don’t want too much and you don’t want too little ink on your printing plate or your prints will lose some of their integrity. The student I am choosing to recognize this week got really nice results each time she printed her design. I also love the background colors she chose. Beautiful work E.B. in Ms. Roy’s 5th Grade Class, Student Artist of the Week!
