ELEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
The theme for this year’s elementary Summer Art Program was: Think, Explore, Create. Under the guidance of art teacher Jessie Rothbard , the theme was pursued. Sonya Rine and Raleigh Hudock were the assistants. Volunteers Dawn Callahan, Kris Bittner, and Patty Jett provided extra help.
Each day started with writing in their journal ideas on what to create.
Each child made an artistic rendition of their name using bubble letters and creativity involving paint pens and/or pastels.
The students explored many different ways to print.
• Relief plates were made by cutting out cardboard and glueing the shapes to other cardboard then applying ink with a brayer and printing on paper
• Foam plates were etched with pencils, covered in ink and printed.
• Prints were made from painting plants and other objects and printing them,
• Liquid water color was added to shaving cream and swirled with a pencil, paper was laid gently on top and the color transfer.
• Monotype prints were made using a gel plate. The plate was painted, objects were layered on top, paper laid on top resulting in a one of a kind print.
