Linoleum Prints–
– After they have completed their carving they will apply a small amount of ink on a inking plate and roll over it with a brayer several times to load it with a smooth, even coat of ink.
– Next, they will roll the brayer across the surface of your linoleum, first horizontally and then vertically, to be sure the ink coverage is consistent and all corners and edges are inked.
-Students will then lay a sheet of paper on top of their block and rub gently to get an even print of their image.
-Students should print at least 5 copies of their image. they may choose to print it all in the same color or change colors.
Silkscreening – Need a t-shirt (light color shirt) No Black or Navy
*Students will design an image for their t-shirt design
*One students have decided what image they want to use for their shirt, they need to draw the design to the exact size and width
*Students will use these designs as a pattern to cut their image out of the film (the film has 2 layers
*Students can cut out the green film it will not attach to the screen.
*Once, students have cut out their image I will melt their image to a screen
*Let dry overnight
*Students will then tape any part of the screen that does not have the green film on it. This will allow the paint to be blocked

*Let Dry
Art 3 & 4
Clay Pinch Pot Fish
* Students will take their thumb and push a hole into the center of the clay (making sure they do not push through the bottom.) Then, turn the sphere slowly in your hand while pinching at the same time.
* The thumb must be pointing straight down, or the pinch pot will flatten like a plate.
*The pinch pot should be an even thickness. Make sure they have pinched the bottom and that it is not too thick. An uneven pinch pot will feel heavy at the bottom.
*The pinch pot will be the mouth of the fish. Students will then place a plastic bag inside the pinch pot so that it will not cave in.
*Make sure it is wrapped in plastic when finished for the day.
*I will demonstrate how to roll out a coil, and how to slip and score it to the rim of the pinch pot
*Make sure it is even thickness and that it does not look cracked Begining students have a tendency to overwork the coils.
*Students will the slip and score the coil onto the rim of the fish. This will be the lip of the fish. It also teaches them the coiling method
*Make sure it is wrapped in plastic when finished for the day
*Now the fun really begins. Students will begin adding eyes, teeth, tongue, fins, and whatever they choose to their fish.
*Make sure that they slip and score each pieces well. It will fall off when the pieces begin to dry.
