October is all about printmaking in the 7th grade art classroom! We have created monotype prints from water-soluble oil pastels, and linocut prints. Currently we are working on a mixed media collage using a variety of different printing techniques. Below are some examples of our monotype prints and linocut patterns. Stay tuned for photos of our mixed media printing collages!
