We're having a blast as we continue to learn about printmaking.  This week, we explored stencils, masks and creating contrast.  Students made a mask and used it to block areas of their gelatin prints.  The younger students created fish; while the older students had more freedom with subject matter.  They all did a fantastic job.  Here are a few examples:

This image shows the student's mask at the top and the print below.  After printing, the masks were beautiful too!

 Another wonderful print by an older student.  I love the complementary colors!

 This print was done by an elementary student.  Didn't she do a fantastic job of suggesting the dolphins' movement as they swim!

These are two more fantastic examples of elementary prints.
