Social/Emotional Printmaking |
The Social Emotional Program allows students to isolate and interpret the cues our faces give to demonstrate how we are feeling. After observing and analyzing pictures of the Haidia Totem Poles at Penn Museum students learn printmaking techniques and create prints in the style of traditional totem poles. Each participant will create two prints that depict an animal showing an emotion. One of each participant’s prints will be added to a collaborative totem pole and the other will be taken home. To meet the needs of all student’s Portside will provide weighted pencils, interactive tools, and helpful visuals.
