Textured Collagraph Prints
These students learned about visual and implied texture. It is important to both SEE and FEEL textures around you and in art. Students also learned about the collagraph printing process. They created three different plates of actual texture and printed them to show visual texture.
This year, I decided to try something different. Instead of making three printing plates, the students made one. I then had them pass their plates in a circle so that they had multiple textures and colors on one page. Nothing like a good old assembly line of print makers! (Depending on the class size, students may have repeated their original printing plate more than once).
