First Graders Get Creative With Printmaking in Art
In Ms. Sarah Baldwin’s art class, first graders dove into the world of printmaking, starting by creating original drawings and tracing them onto foam boards. They then used ink rollers to apply ink to the boards and carefully pressed them onto fresh paper to transfer their designs.
It was a joy to watch the excitement on their faces as they lifted the foam boards to reveal their prints, seeing their creativity come to life. Beyond the fun, the process helped students develop fine motor skills, engage in creative exploration, practice pattern recognition, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build visual literacy and patience.
