In Art - Our new unit is focussed around simple printmaking and our enquiry question will be: How can we make prints using the things that we find around us?
Lesson1: What is a print?
We will identify how we can use our hands to make prints and how we can use colour and pattern to make our prints interesting.
Lesson 2: How can I make a rubbing?
We will collect textured objects from both inside and outside school and investigate how we can take rubbings of them using pencils and wax crayons.
Lesson 3 & 4 : How can I make a relief print?
We will explore how we can use both plasticine and foam to create printing plates. We will use our printing plates to show how we can use pattern and repetition to create a piece of art-work.
Lesson 5: How can I reflect on my art-work?
We will share and reflect on our art-work from across the half term. We will discuss what we liked, what we learnt and what we might like to try again.
