Graphic art is a field of art that is considered somewhat neglected in classroom teaching compared to other fields such as drawing, painting and sculpture. Graphic art covers a variety of graphic techniques that may seem complex at first sight, but are nevertheless feasible in elementary school environment. As the field of graphics is wide and varied, it can be approached from different perspectives. These describe some of the essential features of printmaking. There are many different techniques in the field, which are also feasible in a school environment. Combinations and adaptations of different techniques are possible, which in turn creates more interest and motivation for learning among pupils in school. In the research on the field of graphics at primary school level, teachers gave their opinions on different aspects of the implementation of the field. In addition to the teachers opinions, the opinions of pupils who have been involved in graphics lessons are also given.
In this master thesis we investigate:
- whether printmaking is considered a neglected area,
- how this area is dealt with by classroom teachers and,
- how the seemingly more technically demanding printmaking techniques (screen printing) can be integrated into classroom teaching.
