Lovely Printmaking with Kindergarten

Kindergarten students have been working with printing foam, pencils, and  markers to create their own stamp in the beginning levels of printmaking. Students have been creating love inspired prints to go along with our book, "That Yucky Love Thing." Once the foam was imprinted with the student's design, they then colored their "stamp" with marker.  Printing these works is the most fun of all! Just a quick spray of water onto a paper and a roll of a brayer and the work magically appears! 

Photography with Grade Five

Fifth graders are just getting into our new lesson involving digital photography.  We have discussed   the origination of film photography and the tremendous growth of the digital medium these past ten years.  It has been interesting comparing the two types of media with the students and understanding the ideas behind the use of pixels in today's digital photography.  Students will be exploring the outdoor world next week inspired by the life and works of Ansel Adams.  Here is just a taste of a few test shots from last week's mini-session!
