Printmaking with 3rd Grade
Collograph Fish Print with Australian Aboriginal Dot Painting
First we created a collograph using manilla folders. Basically, we drew a fish, then built up 3 layers of details. Fins and patterns basically. They could create designs and patterns in the background for an environment but not many did this.

| The print station. We did 3 'printers' at a time. I started mixing ink...such a great idea! Orange and yellow....blue and purple/red.....green and yellow. The colors look so much better with a little extra something. |

| Peel and reveal! |

| The key to this part is giving them sticks to use and lots of tempera. For the first class, I gave them acrylic paint in little blobs and I only handed out q-tips. After seeing the dot paintings at the mayor's art show right now, I realized they needed more paint! And other tools....so we've been using toothpicks, wooden sticks and qtips. |
