Printmaking





This term for art we are focussing on making prints. The first step to this is making the printing plate out of cardboard. This took us two sessions as it is very important to get the layers right so that there is some definition to the print. The children were amazing - they listened carefully and put into practice everything that they were taught. The real proof of this was when we started our crayon prints - they turned out great. They learnt to always use the crayon on its side and to always use long strokes of the crayon in the same direction.
