Collography
Similar to a collage, a collography starts with gluing down objects on a backing board to make a design or an image. Unlike with a collage, the artist then goes on to print their collograph collage.
This was the second time this school year that the K – 2nd grade students got to experiment in a printmaking process. (The other was object printmaking). This time, the students had the choice to “work back into” their prints with oil pastel and paint.
Printmaking is a type of art that causes many surprises. Sometimes the students are delighted, sometimes disappointed. But, always, there is magic in the room when there is printmaking happening.
The children experimented with different color background papers.
