7/8th Grade Printing Elective


Today we finished up the Posters in our Community Project. The Students chose an establishment to make a poster from our town of Parker. We learned about Toulouse Lautrec and how he made posters art for the first time . We learned about the elements of art Lautrec used in his posters to make them stand out and to be effective. The students carved linoleum squares with a logo to represent their restaurant and printed around the poster.
