6th grade Ukiyo-e Printmaking

6th graders just finished a Japanese Printmaking Ukiyo-e Unit.  We learned about the "floating world"  and created our own "floating world" themes.  Students wrote a haiku about their theme and then illustrated their haiku with some relief printmaking.  We used styrofoam plates, pencils, pens and scratchboard tools.  I made a powerpoint for an intro, I have The Great Wave poster displayed, we read an article, answered questions, wrote and made art!  What a full week!






Reflections:  I have discussed a collaboration with the Japanese teacher and we are super excited about an Arts Integration Unit for both disciplines!!!  Love my school!
