Thinking Levels By the end of this lesson, students should be at the Application level. They will be using their knowledge of printmaking and the printmaking press to run their own prints and possibly make an edition. Learning Styles and/or Accommodations If some students are able to complete the Independent Practice quickly, they should then attempt to run their prints with ink. Materials Collagraph plates Printmaking paper Printmaking press Felts Independent Practice Students will run a small edition of their collagraph plates without ink. They should focus on the texture and embossing that occurs with each pull. Closure Exit Slip Explain why we soak our paper before printing a collagraph.
