Print it! Ms. Opsahl and Ms. Vetch

This project was inspired by the book, "Easter Egg Farm." We started out by drawing an easter egg on a medium sized paper, we used whatever designs we wanted to make them unique. Once we had our egg drawing done we used meat tray foam and imprinted our egg design into it. Once the design of our egg was imprinted onto the foam, it was time to apply the paint.

We used printmaking ink. First you set your blank paper over the foam them you use a roller to apply the paint. Once all the paint is applied then you do a corner test to make sure that the design formed on the paper. Then you let your papers dry. We did four egg designs. Once they were dry we glued them onto a large piece of construction paper.

Extension Activity: I would extend this art project by teaching the history of the easter egg and why we have eggs during the easter holiday. I would bring in real eggs into class and have the student decorate them.
