SA Arty Hour
In this garden-themed printmaking lesson inspired by Harlem Grown by Tony Hillery, our students will explore collagraphy while learning about the impact of healthy choices. After assembling a textured printing plate, they will apply liquid tempera in layered values to create a printed background for their collage. To complete their artwork, students will add stamped elements, a trellis or pot for grounding, and optional materials like yarn or tissue paper for added texture. Through this lesson, they will also reflect on how healthy habits nourish both body and mind, fostering ambition, motivation, and meaningful social connections.

This lucky little lesson is a fun nod to St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀✨ Students will create a dazzling four-leaf clover collagraph print with stunning radial symmetry. A dreamy, blended background comes to life with bleeding tissue paper and water, while a single collagraph plate is printed in each quadrant. Want extra magic? Sprinkle on some glitter for a sparkly touch! Mount it on colorful paper for a polished finish—or switch up the shape for a totally unique abstract masterpiece.
