This art project was created by the technique of printmaking. The stamping process was used to create the train cars of a freight train carrying a resource from South Dakota. Because the requirement of the project stated that the artist needed to portray South Dakota landscapes, I decided to draw a bridge over a little creek. My train is carrying corn from a South Dakota farmer's field to a city far from our flat state.
An extension activity for this project could be to have the students use the printmaking technique to create a stamp that is 3x3 inches in size. The students can then use their stamps to stamp an envelope that has a letter written during their Language Arts class. It is an opportunity for the students to show the person they addressed their letter to a piece of their writing and artwork.
