Czaplicki Exploratory Rousseau Drawing

Working with color pencils we created jungle scenes from our imaginations!

Czaplicki Art 6 Monotype

Our Art 6 Students are hard at work on our monotype prints.
Mono means ONE. That's because for each run of the plate you only get 1 print. 
Here you can see the plate and the print of a bald eagle. 
Again- here is the plate and print. Look at that lovely texture detail!



Each student did research on birds of North America. Then, copying the style of John James Audubon, we drew detailed drawings of a selected bird. Audubon did hyper-realistic drawings of birds!
Once done drawing we made copies of their image. The students roll ink out on plexiglass, gently press the paper on top and trace. Anywhere they trace with a pencil- picks up ink.  We also make Ghost Prints! Ask your students about whats makes the prints so spooky!

Soon we will be coloring in!

Please ask your student about where they are in the process?
