Creative Arts - Art Autumn 2

During Autumn 2 we will be completing a Art unit.

'Printmaking' 

Key Disciplines:  Drawing, Printmaking, Collage

Outcomes: This pathway invites children to explore the world about them as a way to begin to understand the concept of “print”. Children use their own bodies, then things they collect around them, to create a variety of prints. They use their hands and feet to make prints, and they take rubbings of textures from the environment around them.  They make “plates” by making impressions in plasticine, and then by using printing foam. They explore how they can build up images by creating multiples, and use line, shape, colour and texture to explore pattern, sequencing and symmetry. 

Key Concepts:  

• That we can make a “plate” from which to “print”
• That there is a relationship between plate and print: e.g. negative / positive.
• That we can use print to create “multiples”
• That we can explore line, shape, colour and texture to explore pattern, sequence, symmetry and intention.
