Dessert Prints

Second Grade students discussed the difference between printing and painting. They learned that prints can be made multiple times. Students designed their own printing block featuring dessert, after studying Wayne Thiebaud, an artist who is known for his dessert paintings.  They drew their dessert on a piece of styrofoam and then colored it with markers. Students then printed those desserts by spraying a piece of paper with water and blotting the paper with paper towel. Then they printed their dessert on that paper. Students were able to make multiple prints.
