Print Making

This project gave perspective on the history of printing and how it was originally used. We started by having a piece of styrofoam and drawing out our design we wanted for the holiday cards we made. My design was a snowman and said, "Happy Holidays." After we we done with our designed, we chose the color of print we wanted to be put on the color of paper we chose for the card. We used a wooden roller utensil to roll the color of print onto the paper to form the card. Even though I did not plan on the number twelve (12) being on the paper, I'm happy that it is because that was my high school basketball number. I liked this activity very much, but though it was difficult to roll the ink because sometimes the roller would get sticky. An extension to this would be to have the students personally write inside the cards and give them to someone for Christmas.
