Printmaking in the art room! Seventh grade artists are creating relief prints from their shoe drawings. They are now mastering inking their block, pressing their print, and pulling the print. They are also responsible for taking care of the printmaking equipment, studio space, and helping each other. I am so proud of the hard work they are putting into their art!
