Styrofoam Printing Residency In Person, Grades 2-8 

This program is designed to introduce the art of printing to students. Students will make motifs for individual prints and combine the motifs into a pattern. The pattern will be used to explore fabric arts and to create a model for an article of clothing.  By creating a printing plate, making a print, and understanding how to print reverse images, students will select and use organizational structures and analyze what makes them effective or not in the communication of ideas. Students reflect upon the effectiveness of their choices.

Students will integrate visual, spatial, and temporal concepts with content to communicate intended meaning in their artworks.  Students analyze, describe, and demonstrate how factors of time and place influence visual characteristics that give meaning and value to a work of art.  Students will be inspired through their own journaling, and the natural world.
