Printmaking is the transferring of a design to another surface using tools such as brayers, ink, paint, etc. There are many types of printmaking techniques , such as, woodcut, etching, and engraving. The fourth grade students made monotype (one) print using a gelli plate. Pictured below are a few of the beautiful snowflake prints created.
