Expressionist Foam Prints

These prints were inspired by Kathe Kollwitz and her German Expressionist work that always portrayed social issues. 7/8 Visual Art students created two sketches that they transferred to foam plates. One was a human showing expression and the other was a repetitive design of their choice that filled the plate. Students printed each plate and also printed one over the other.
