These projects were SO much fun! They could be used for almost ANY lesson plan. I think I would use the marble paper to teach the color wheel, complementary colors etc. I wouls also consider doing the etching a relief sculpture in conjunction with ancient art (i.e. pottery and sculpture) to help them get a feel for the skill. I would also have the students make up a family or individual crest and have them put it on the linoleum blocks. After they created it I would have them write a letter to their political leader and say what is on their crest and why. At the end they would stamp it as their signature.
Printmaking Techniques: woodcut, silkscreen, intaglio, engraving, dry point, sugar lifts, aquatints, etc...
Etching (what you carve out will print b/c ink will stay in the grooves)
For middle-aged students: try Styrofoam blocks, food trays, or printmaking (using an embroidery hoop, cheese cloth, and tempera paint mixed with flour), etc....
(Styrofoam Block)
Relief (what you carve out will remain white)
For older students: try linoleum block printing (enforce safety) or silk screens (could make them out of material shower curtains, Modge Podge (or contact/freezer paper), frames), etc.....
(Linoleum Block Print)
For younger students: try potato/sponge painting, hand prints, marble paper (using shaving cream and food coloring), etc....Marble Paper
