Printing in Art for the First Time by. Adam

Printing in Art       by. Adam

Today at Glenridge elementary the class of 5B was printing for the first time in art with a linoleum square that 5B carved themselves. “Ok I am going to demonstrate how to do the actual printing on the paper without not aligning it correctly, or not putting to much or not enough ink on the roller and the stamp so it comes out correctly on the piece of paper” when Mrs. Oliver came and squeezed some of the ink out, the whole class all grossed out by the oil that came out before the actual color came out. Mrs. Oliver thought it was disruptive so she said: that if it grosses you out than you can go and sit out. She took her roller and rolled it in the ink and spread it out on the little foam plate and then rubbed it on her stamp and when she got the paper out she said that we will definitely get it wrong the first time but we are going to do it several more times and that we would get better at it.

When she finished demonstrating how to print it on paper she dismissed us to go and do our own printing. What I saw when all the people in the room started working all these incredible designs but they messed up on the first printing just like Mrs.Oliver had predicted. We all noticed how the pink was really dry and it wasn’t working that well, so everybody that was using pink ink switched to a different color and started working again by the time they had done at least three printings per artist. Art was already over but nobody wanted to stop so Mrs.Oliver had to pull some people away from their art work. And got them lined up for recess anxious for next art.

The 5th graders in 5B will continue to print with there hard work in the next following classes of art.

  1. If I were you I would say that she dismissed the class instead of us, remember you are the reporter, otherwise great job!
