1st Grade Printing

After studying fall leaves, we all made a printing plate with a leaf on it.  

On our first day of printing, we printed with cool colors... blues and greens. 

 We used recyclable materials... plastic cups, bubble wrap and packaging materials.  

On the second day of printing, we printed our leaves with warm colors... red, orange, and yellow. 

The students claim they LOVE printing and I can tell from the mess, that it was a huge hit.  They wanted to keep the printing plates and so we decided to make them part of the art.

Next, there will be poems to go with these.
