6th Printmaking and Drawing Groupwork


6th grade worked in teams to create beautiful scenes of trees. They first created their own relief bird print and some made relief prints of leaves, then added them to a drawing. Teamwork is not easy but students learned how to share their ideas and complete a composition.
