For this unit, students are encouraged to learn about the art of printmaking in its various forms.
Lesson #1: Stamping
For this lesson, students are encouraged to practice stamping. I changed the lesson by creating a theme for my stamp collection. I stamped with real fruits. Another idea that a peer suggested was to create a fruit bowl using fruit as stamps, and changing the paint colours.

After I had done the stamping, I thought it might be neat to have students stamp common items and then have their peers guess what they had stamped. This would force kids to look at the art through a more abstract lens.
Lesson #2: Crayon Printing
In the next lesson, students use crayons to cover a white sheet of paper with some crayon pattern. Then, they draw some design to create the transfer. Although I did not demonstrate it, this would be a great way to teach about warm and cool colours, and how they change the mood of an image. Students could also choose colours using the colour wheel.

Lesson #3: Rubbings/Frottage
This lesson was similar to one I'd done in the drawing unit. I liked using the crayons for the rubbings, because it made the designs easier to see. I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity for kids guess what the rubbings are of after they've done them. Another challenging activity would be to hold up an item, and have students draw what they think that the rubbing would look like.
