The "Egg"citing life of printmaking

This

For This project we were introduced to printmaking. This was something that I have never done before, or really heard of. We learned about how to do printmaking, We first went on an Easter egg hunt, this egg had the shape that we had to incorporate into our print. Then we drew out a design and then had to trace over it using a Styrofoam tracing paper. We then had to use paint rollers to paint over the foam paper. Then to transfer our drawing onto a piece of construction paper we had to press down and make sure to rub the design on the construction paper. Then we had to find a partner with the opposite color we had, either warm or cool color and also print their egg design also. When they were dry we cut out the eggs and put them on a bigger sheet of construction paper and drew a little Easter basket to put them in. We also had to write three sentences about the project and what shape we had. You could easily incorporate this lesson into math. This way you could still use the shapes, if you are talking about geometry. They would have to incorporate different shapes on their prints.
