Exploring the printmaking medium with foam plates and printmaking ink. A very accessible medium students could essentially use any clean foam plate, etch in their design, and print it with the right inks. A very safe intro to the printmaking medium.
As part of the assignment, I etched in a frog. One of my favorite animals!
Extension: Students can try to sketch out their creature in an environment. Then etch their design into a plate. Have it be a 2 color print depending on grade/skill level.
