Printmaking for Children

Printmaking for Children

The principle of Printmaking concerns “multiples” or “editions”, and at Rosebud Art Studio we will convey these concepts via techniques like Foam Plate Etching and Collagraph Printing (for younger students) and Linoleum Cut, Plexiglass Engraving and Dry Point over Zinc/Aluminum Plate Engraving (for adult students). We will use environment friendly Aqua Inks to pull prints. Generally, a printmaking course follows completion of the Drawing 1 or Drawing 2 crash course, but if a student is demonstrably proficient in drawing skills, the student may be enrolled directly into the Printmaking Course.

Printmaking for Children

Foam Plate Etching for younger students: The students will draw a Still Life and realize the drawing over a Foam Plate to achieve lines and gradation. The students will print their Foam Plate in multiples using multicolor Aqua Inks.

The Collagraph Printing for younger students: The students will draw a Portrait and realize the drawing as a Collagraph Plate by cutting a gluing Multicolor Card stock. The students will print their Collagraph Plate in multiples using multicolor Aqua Inks.

Course duration: 8 classes
