The Kindergarten class went outdoors on a mini fieldtrip and explored trees. We discussed the parts of trees and then picked a variety of leaves. Once we returned back to the art room, we investigated printmaking.
Students were introduced to vocabulary such as brayer, plate, ink, water soluble and palate. Students watched a demonstration on how to pull the ink down into the palate, charge the brayer (load it) with ink, apply the ink to the leaf and create a print. Students learned they could reuse the inked leaf after they pulled it from making a print and create a second leaf print, that was a little fainter, also called a ghost print.
