Fifth grade students finished of the year with a printmaking project. We learned about the artist MC Escher and his focus on math and tessellations. We reviewed the geometry concepts, rotate, flip and slide which would be key to how we print our blocks. we looked at tile and quilt patterns for inspiration for symmetrical designs. The print blocks were carved in a soft eraser like materiel. Students had to consider positive and negative space. After several series of prints they chose their best and decided how they could mount and present it in a creative way!
