Periodic Printmaking
Posted by Krissy Ponden
The eighth grade has been working on a collaborative printmaking project based on the periodic table of the elements that fuses art and science. They have been studying the properties of the elements with Mr. Knebel and also learning about printmaking with PEL fellow, Caleb Colpitts. Each student chose an element to express visually and then developed several concepts before selecting the image that was the best representation. They carved and printed their designs utilizing different colors, printing techniques, and overall aesthetics. The finished images will be part of a larger installation in the Upper School wing that will be a visual representation of the entire periodic table. We plan to continue the project with future eighth grades over the next several years until all of the elements have been completed.
