Item Description
FRAMED COLLECTION OF BLOCK PRINTS
From mushrooms to milk snakes, from snowy owls to parrots and swans: the Turquoise room has etched an array of images from nature, inked them in rich jewel tones, and arranged the final prints in a distressed wood frame in tune with the project theme. The class worked hard on this multi-step creation and enjoyed every minute!
First, each friend chose an object, animal or vegetable, and sketched it on a 4"x6" card. Each then transferred his/her drawing--some elaborated into full nature scenes--with tracing paper onto styrofoam blocks. They used different wooden tools and various pencil points to carve an impression into the foam. Then, we gathered together for a printing session in the hallway. Each friend smoothed ink with a brayer, carefully rolled ink over his/her foam etching, while keeping the drawing lines clean, and pressed paper down onto the inked image. Smiles bloomed as each child's vision took shape on the paper! Lastly, we arranged the prints and framed them.
Vivid colors, careful work, joyful satisfaction in ideas realized. Your family will enjoy this collection for years to come. Let it adorn a wall in your home!
