Art: Printing

This week we have been enjoying Art on an afternoon. Our learning focus for this unit is: To create and use simple printing blocks e.g. household objects, vegetables and stamps.

Our first lesson, we looked for objects around our classroom that we thought would make a good printing pattern. Can you identify some of the objects we chose from our wonderful printed pictures?

We moved on to look at printing with vegetables. Mrs Snodgrass carved some shapes and patterns onto potatoes and we used them to create our colourful art work. We also had a go at using 3D shapes as stencils to paint around. 

The children really enjoyed printing this week, it would be lovely to see you have a go at home with some household objects- I wonder if I can guess what you have used?
