As a result of the technology-heavy curriculum which has been born out of necessity due to the pandemic, I am looking forward to a hands-on, low-tech activity that encourages interpersonal reflection, and community building while also promoting literary analysis.
First, students will partake in the art of printmaking while exploring how interaction and encounters make lasting impressions on who we eventually become. They will create a print to represent who they believe they are. Conversations will be had about how objects that make contact with the printing plate leave impressions on the final print just like how people, places, and things that we come into contact with leave lasting impressions on who we become Once students gain confidence in the printmaking process they will then create a print that represents a character from the novel Frankenstein. They will present their print and explain the process they went through, and why they chose specific colors, textures, and images to represent their character. This project will facilitate higher-order thinking as students learn to critique both visual and written art. The prints and explanations will be displayed in a gallery format so that students in every hour can view and make connections.
