Cup Printing


Fourth Grade students created abstract prints by dipping cups into black paint and printing them on white paper. Emphasis was placed on making sure the cup prints were balanced across the page. Then they used tempera paint to create more visual interest. Again, students were encouraged to keep their artwork balanced by making sure the colors were used evenly across the page and to use repeating colors to get the eye to move around the page.
Finally, students had a critique where they were able to give constructive criticism to their classmates. Students answered these questions: Does the artwork appear balanced? Why or why not? Is there anything you would add to the artwork? Is there anything you would've done differently?
