Just after college I interned with an artist who created Woodblock Prints in the traditional Japanese style. This was a springboard for my interest in the history behind the unique subject matter and style. The juxtaposition of patterns working together in these prints were something that always fascinating to me. Fifth grade art students created their own Japanese Edo inspired portrait using patterned paper collage instead of woodblock prints. Students had to create a portrait collage that represented the spirit of the period and culture which is also is expressed in the beautiful Japanese lettering that was included in their work. Below are some of the portraits created by our talented fifth grade artists.
