Kinder Printmaking!

Kindergarten has taken up printmaking!
This was a very fun project for all of us in the Art room. Kinder artists learned about the printmaking process (simplified, of course!), and learned about what it means to make a print of an object. I love showing them the video of the artist that creates prints of teddy bears on black paper  - I found it on Pinterest!  Here is the video!
We then began making our own prints - circles on paper - counting our circles and making sure at least one overlapped with another. 


Then, we added color to our printmaking projects. We talked about making an abstract artwork, where it doesn't show "something is real life" but shows shapes, lines and colors in a different way. 

Here are some results! 




The students chose their favorite color and used watercolors to paint the background of their project. 

Thank you for checking out this lesson!
