Hokusai, Mt Fuji printmaking project


Students learn to edition their work by using a master printmaking plate.


                                           Styrofoam serves as our "plate" for our printmaking design.
                                             A design is carved and the plate is carefully inked.




Many colors are possible with the same plate.

Students learn that you don't always need a brush to make a painting!



Students used a straw to move the paint on the paper 
by blowing with a straw. The pieces were finished by adding glitter.
