Spring : Printmaking as Process : Lesson 3
Creating a logo for printing
Creating a logo for printing
Warm-up: 10mins
- Invite class to look at and respond to a series of logos and images from recent climate strike school protests and “Extinction Rebellion”. Focus the discussion on the effectiveness of simple, bold designs.
Introduction: 5mins
- Ask students to create a poster print to raise environmental awareness, combining text and a logo or image. The focus of this lesson will be on the addition of a logo or image to compliment the previous lesson’s text.
- Remind students that the image will flip direction when printed, just as the text did, so they need to be mindful of the layout.
Development: 20mins
- Each student will use one foam surface to work on their print, each surface approx. A4 size.
- Ask students to decide on the final logo or image, and its placement, that they will add to their text print.
- Ask students to draw out their image 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 design.
- Ask students to glue the design onto the cardboard surface.
Conclusion: 10mins
- Encourage the class to share their work with each other and discuss the complete print created, a combination of print and image. Clean up.
