Our student teacher, Austin Fabinski, came up with an exciting lesson for relief printing. Third grade students chose a Rainforest animal and drew it in its habitat (home) including leaves, trees, flowers. Students practiced making four different versions, then drew the final scene onto their styrofoam plate using a dull pencil. If the lines weren't etched deeply into the sytrofoam, they went over it pressing a bit harder. Next they added colored marker onto the plate making sure to color it thoroughly. Then they sprayed the paper with water and printed their plate several times until they perfected the technique. This would be an excellent lesson for home - you can use a styrofoam plate or clean styrofoam meat tray, a set of markers, and a damp sponge. Enjoy!
