About this School Project (Emotional Self-Portrait Printmaking)
Students created a self-portrait inspired by the artwork of Frida Kahlo. Students reflected on their personal emotions, practiced drawing a variety of emotions, and then chose one emotion to use for their final. Students drew their self-portrait, transferred it onto a Styrofoam printing plate, and then printed the image using printing ink and a brayer. After, students added details to their self-portrait and then printed it a second time on top of their previous print, using a new color.
