Collagraph Printing and Texture Explorations

Introduction
During October and the first part of November Kindergarten through 2nd grade learners explored collage, texture,  and printmaking. First, we read a couple of books by the author Louis Elhert, Ralph and Boo! to you. They learned how one image can be presented in multiple ways. They also learned how their art can change throughout a process. Some learners struggled with the idea of covering their plate ( a piece of cardboard that they built their image on) with black paint. They were invited to make a second plate to print. Some of the 1st graders really ran with the process making a whole series of prints. A few of the important aspects of learning for this lesson were:
  • Texture
  • Multiple materials
  • Perseverance
  • Printmaking process-reverse imagery and repetition
  • Problem making and solution finding
  • Flexibility
What was their process?
First the learners built their plate using various textural materials, such as burlap, foam, yarn or corrugated paper. Then they did a proof of their print (crayon rubbing of the textured surface), this allowed each learner to see what their print would look like and afford them an opportunity to add more to their image if they chose. When each learner was satisfied with their image they would then paint the textured surfaces with black tempura paint and press their print paper on top of their plate. They were encouraged to make multiple prints, because print-makers usually prime their plate with multiple prints then begin printing their series. There was varied commitment to this idea. Once they were finished printing and their plate had dried out, they added color to both their print and their plate.
