Printmaking and Collage: An Exploration of Animals in their Environment

6th grade students explore their favorite animal and their environment in these exciting compositions.  They began in the library learning about the animals, and then were asked to come up with 20 adjectives to describe the animal.  We studied linoleum block printmaking, oil pastels, and collage to create these works. We used recycled dictionaries to create collage elements in the background!They did an excellent job!
