We studied the artist, Mary Cassatt, these last 12 weeks. After doing 4 picture studies, we got together with some friends for a group picture study followed by an art activity.
We did a print making activity, to imitate the print making technique often used by Mary Cassatt.
First everyone painted their own “original” image.
Even my little D (age 3) was having a blast drawing the letter “I” over and over again!
Then we put a blank piece of paper on top, press down and pull up…VIOLA…a print.
(It will work better if the original is painted on a cookie sheet so that the paint isn’t absorbed, but with a group of 12 kids we didn’t attempt that because it will also be messier and harder to clean)
K’s print…
And T’s print…
It is always more fun to work in a group and we al had a great time!
