Fourth grade students learned about the Pop Art of Andy Warhol and how he loved to experiment with ways of making art. They looked at some of Warhol's serigraphy and we also discussed positive/negative space. I was so excited to be in a classroom this year, so I could teach students about the process of screen printing. Students designed stencils and used complementary colors of paper for printing. They printed the negative stencil first and the next week printed the positive stencil. The last week they chose their best prints, cut them out and then glued them to a background. The art room was filled with excitement and mess! I taught students to wash their screen when they were done and then clean up their areas. Everyone was on task in the midst of all the chaos. We used embroidery hoops for screen frames, silk screen material, crescent board for squeegees and newsprint for stencils. The newsprint stuck to the screen after the first pass of ink and students printed 4 times with each stencils.

I was a graphic designer for many years, and then decided to make the leap into art education. I taught elementary art for 8 years. Archives
