Students learned that a Japanese 'chop' is the signature of the artist on an art print. Since the Japanese language not only consists of characters that can represent a whole word rather than one alphabet letter, and is read from top down, our 'chops' are creative interpretations of the initials of the student's name done in a vertical format. Once the chop was designed and carved as a printing stamp, students used the stamp to create patterns onto the 5"x8" card previously printed with leaf images from the previous lesson.
