Periodic Table Printmaking Project
In this project we were assigned an element, I was given zinc, and we had to create a print of something to do with that element and glue it onto a giant collaborative periodic table. We each drew three sketches of things we might print, and we had to choose our favorite. My favorite one that I drew was metal casting, which is one of the uses of zinc. We then transferred those sketches onto linoleum blocks, and cut out either the negative or positive space. After we finished cutting the block we had to print the block three times, and mat all three. Our final step in the project was to glue our best print to the periodic table the two classes doing this project were creating.
