Paper Collograph
Third graders viewed different types of butterflies and learned to properly identify their body parts before beginning this project. They then created a plate for a collograph by drawing a butterfly and separating its parts, by cutting them. Each part was glued in layers to the paper "plate". The plate was then inked and transferred to a colored piece of printing paper.

I'm liking these a lot! Did it take long?
ReplyDeleteyes, it did. mostly because they had to look at butterflies and sketch first. When they made a simple drawing they liked, they transferred it to a heavy stock paper (by coloring the back of the paper with graphite, laying it on top of the heavy stock, and retracing their drawing to transfer). Then they cut the main pieces apart, glued them to another heavy weight paper and added details of paper.
