Collaborative architecture printing project

This is a new favorite project of mine. I have each of the kids draw the name of an architectural element (row of rectangular windows, double doors, cupola, chimney, brick wall, pointed arch, etc.). They then make a stamp of that element, using adhesive-back foam and cardboard. They are then to make at least three more architectural details of their choice (the first ones assigned just get them all started). When they're done making the stamps, all of the stamps are piled in the center of the table and the printing begins. Each kid composes a cityscape using the stamps, and they all come out wonderfully different! We used black acrylic paint because it dries quickly and won't run (as will block printing ink), if they decide to add color, once it has dried. We did these on BIG pieces of paper, and the results were just terrific.
