In Printmaking, students explore color, shape, and process through hands-on, inquiry-based printmaking experiences. Using brayers and transparent oil-based inks, students learn to build a three-layer print over time, operating a cylinder intaglio press with guidance and care. Each week, a new layer is added, allowing students to observe color mixing through overlap and deepen their understanding of shape, transparency, and composition. Additional projects include using the power of the Sun to make a cyanotype print, and explore texture through the rubbing technique. Through experimentation and reflection, students develop printmaking vocabulary, fine motor skills, visual problem-solving, and an understanding of how process and materials influence artistic outcomes.
