用美工泡沫制作花卉版画

我们此前已接触过这种有趣的材料——它可蚀刻、可裁剪、可塑形、可粘贴、可上色，亦可用于版画印刷。本次选用美工泡沫板进行[版画印刷]（https://arteascuola.com/2013/12/little-book-printed-with-craft-foam/），因其价格低廉，且易于雕刻、上墨与印刷，操作步骤简单明了。此次面向六年级学生，我们以著名插画家与艺术家[Lisa Congdon]（http://lisacongdon.com）的作品为灵感，创作出若干花卉造型的版画印版。

首先，我们在纸上勾勒出一些花卉草图；接着，用尖头铅笔在美工泡沫板上进行蚀刻。随后，将花卉图案剪下，制成可供印刷的版画印版。之后，使用油印滚筒蘸取油印油墨，为印版均匀上墨。最后，将上好墨的印版覆于白纸上，用汤匙背面均匀按压，完成印制。

印制完成后，我们在绘画纸上用黑色记号笔绘制一只花瓶；再用纯色颜料涂绘背景色，该色需区别于花卉颜色。下一步，我们将印制好的花卉图案剪下，并粘贴至画面中。最后，用黑色记号笔在花卉与花瓶之间添画枝茎，使整幅作品完整呈现。

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Flowers printed with Craft foam

We have already worked with this interesting material that can be etched, cut, shaped, glued, colored and printed. We used the craft foam sheets for printing, because it’s cheap, it’s suitable to be engraved, inked and printed in easy, simple steps. This time with Grade 6th students,  we created some printing plates in flower shapes, inspired by works of the great illustrator and artist Lisa Congdon.

First we sketched some flowers on paper and then we etched the craft foam with a sharp pencil. After that we cut out the flowers creating some printing plates ready to be printed. Subsequently the printing plates have been inked with lino printing ink, using a lino roller. Finally the inked printing plates have been pressed on white paper with a spoon and our prints were ready.

After printing we drew a vase with a black marker on a drawing sheet, and then we painted the background with a solid color, different from the color of flowers. In the last step we cut out the printed flowers and pasted them on the painting. Finally we drew some stems between the flowers and the vase with a black marker, to complete the work.
