Spring : Printmaking as Process : Lesson 2
Creating a print font
Warm-up: 5mins
- Ask students to share their posters drafts with the entire class so as to refresh their ideas.

Introduction: 5mins
- Explain the project challenge to the group. Ask children to create a poster print to raise environmental awareness, combining text and a logo or image. - Illustrate the need to use letters and an image of a reasonable size- as they will be cut out they cannot be too small. 
- Remind students that the text will flip direction when printed, so they need to be mindful of the layout. 
- Ask students to create their final font for their slogan, using A4 paper and pencil. 

Development: 25mins 
- Each student will use one cardboard piece and one foam surface to work on their print, each surface approx. A4 size. 
- Ask students to draw out their font slogan on one piece of foam surface using pencil and a ruler to keep the letters of a similar size. 
- Students will then cut out their letters. - Ask students to glue the letters onto the cardboard surface using your glue of choice.

Conclusion: 10mins 
- Invite the class to share their work with each other and discuss the various types of font created. Clean up.
