Dutch Windmills Grade 4

Continuing on our Dutch theme Grade 4 quickly did this printmaking project in preparation for Grandparents and special persons day.  I woke up at 4 am one morning last week with this idea.  Clearly I had gone to sleep with "art projects" on my mind!  For what they are I was pleased.  It offered the students to briefly be introduced to the printmaking process. Students love to print.  It gave them a glimpse into another culture relevant to our studies.  Lastly we touched on some basic art concepts and elements.  Next time I do this lesson I will elaborate on texture and detail.  But for a quick 40 minute art class I was pleased and so were our special guests!
