YEAR 1: Animals - Printing

 

Connecting

We explored the artwork by the contemporary artist 'David White' who uses bright colours and expressive brushstrokes to paint endangered animals.

               

               

Observing & Exploring

We carefully observed the shapes of the exciting animals that visited Year 1 with 'Angie', creating observational sketches of them.

We also explored a range of printing techniques and different brushstrokes.

We experimented with 'mono-printing'. This is where you roll block printing ink onto the table and you place the paper gently on top of the ink. You then use a pencil or your finger to draw the shape and make marks.

Creating

We used mono-printing to create the outline of the animals in our artwork.

We then added colour to our artwork using watercolour paints and chalk pastels.
