The Farm<br />
Jarian Martinez<br />
Grade: 2<br />
School: School for<br />
Environmental<br />
Citizenship, Bronx<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Michael Williams<br />
Collograph<br />
STUDENT: I like to make<br />
art because there is so<br />
much you can do. In<br />
printmaking, you can<br />
make the same print more<br />
than once, and you can<br />
use different colors each<br />
time. When people look at<br />
my artwork I want them<br />
to know what it’s like to<br />
live on a farm.<br />
TEACHER: The second graders studied<br />
different communities. Jarian chose to<br />
depict a rural community. His farmer<br />
is shown herding two cows into a<br />
barn on a bright sunny day. Textures<br />
and features are creatively indicated<br />
by overlapping shapes. Jarian<br />
printed by hand using the rubbing<br />
method. Through an exploration of<br />
the art materials and techniques of<br />
printmaking, all students exercised<br />
imagination, used the basic art tools<br />
of printmaking, and gained knowledge<br />
of the medium.<br />
