I have the pleasure of teaching our fifth graders for a few weeks now that they're done PSSAs and we have been focusing on printmaking techniques. I talked to students about Andy Warhol and Pop Art, and had them think of and design a printing plate that represents popular culture today. Before printing, we discussed the many types of families on the color wheel and I instructed students to choose four color papers that are analogous and to use ink that is complimentary to their paper. I pre mixed two tones of ink, so students could loosely interpret which complimentary pair to focus on. Almost every student completed four prints in one class!
