I would like to provide my students with an in-depth unit on printmaking where they will explore a variety of relief-printing styles. Throughout the 6-week unit, students will gain a greater understanding of the printmaking process and techniques by creating a single color design print, hand-tinted print, printmaking collage, and a reduction print. The grant provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce and explore the principle techniques of printmaking, and provides a strong foundation for other printmaking techniques such as woodcut, intaglio, etching, lithography, collagraph, and monoprint/monotype. The printmaking unit will build a stronger foundation for the AP art program by providing another platform for expression. It can help spark students’ creativity and build greater interest in the visual arts. It will also help differentiate ASTEC’s art students from other local and regional art programs by expanding their awareness of the visual arts. Many schools do not offer this type of program because it is costly and takes a higher level educator to teach it. Moreover, enriching our students’ lives with more technical experiences provides greater knowledge and empowers them to implement various techniques to satisfy their artistic expression. Goals: For my students to apply the Elements and Principles of art to techniques used in relief printmaking. For students to experiment and be inspired with the printmaking process and use problem solving and divergent thinking skills such as creativity, analysis, and decision making. For ASTEC Charter Schools to expand the visual arts curriculum by offering a printmaking class. To differentiate ASTEC Charter Schools art students from other art students in the greater community and the region. The printmaking unit would encourage collaboration and information sharing among art teachers. Additionally, materials purchased with the grant will be shared with other art students for the next five years
