Lesson # 2 for UNIT

For my second lesson plan in my "Outside the Museum" theme unit, I want to do something with stenciling. I think this is a great opportunity for student to relate more to non-traditional artwork.
The artists that I have introduced in the powerpoint, such as Banksy, make stencils and create artwork simply by creating the stencils, printing them and adding their own message.
This could also be an introduction to printmaking for the students. I know that when I was in high school, I never had much exposure to printmaking techniques and I only got introduced to it in college which made me think that if I had more lessons in printmaking early on, I would have majored in it.
Anyways, I think printmaking is a great lesson for the students because it's fun and they could learn the techniques.
