Corrugated Cardboard Relief Prints
-Uses the exposed flutes of corrugated cardboard to print an Op Art design.
-The planning stage of black crayon rubbings could be a final stage. The rubbings need not be done in black. You could use the squares to create rubbings, cut shapes from the rubbings and collage the final product.
-Adaptable to many grade and ability levels.

2D & #D Name Design
-Uses names raised above a design background and suggests connecting background design to meaning of the students name.
-I would use letters cut out of paste papers or possibly another use of recycled hand made paper.
