Fifth graders use printing press to bring alive their custom designs

Fifth graders brought their symbols to life this week using the printing press. In art class, students explored Adinkra cloth and learned about the meanings and cultural significance of its symbols from West Africa. In Tech class, students created designs with simple shapes in Adobe Illustrator. Those digital designs were then laser-cut into wooden stamps. This week, students used their custom-made stamps to create colorful prints, transforming their sketches into finished pieces of art.
