Make Your Mark! A Magazine & Printmaking Workshop for 3rd & 4th Graders

In this bold and creative new issue of Make/Believe Magazine, students dive into the colorful world of design and printmaking! Young artists explore how posters can express identity, dreams, and the power of their voice. With hands-on workshops, a visit from a real printmaker, and a field trip to a local design shop, students learn how ideas become art you can hold, hang, and share. Through writing, interviews, creative reflections, and their own original poster collections, each student gets to say something loud, proud, and beautifully their own. This is their chance to design the future—one print at a time!

Each student will make a one of a kind poster and contribute to the writing and publishing of a class magazine!
