Printmaking Autobiography Book Covers

Printmaking:
For the printmaking unit, students created a book cover for what would have been an autobiography.  Obviously we did not have the time to write such a big book, but students contemplated their lives and came up with imagery that said something about themselves.  Then students learned about printmaking.  They did several proof prints experimenting with color and placement. 


Then students brainstormed and creatively titled their autobiography.  Next, students selected their best proof to add the title on using block letters or bubble letters.  Finally, students used value to shade a variety of light and dark in their titles.
