Railroad Printmaking


   For this lesson we began by carving a design of our choice into a rectangular piece of styrofoam. We then used a roller to apply paint onto the rectangular piece and pressed it three times on construction paper. While the print was drying, we drew a railroad scene. We connected our railroad scene to South Dakota by having it filled with a South Dakota item such as coal or corn. The railroad was a part of our South Dakota history and we could continue with this by researching our history of the railroad even more. We could also research the progress of the railroad and how it has improved throughout history.
