Art Gallery

Last week we participated in the Christchurch Art Gallery Outreach programme. Emily came out to teach us about printmaking. It was so much fun and the results were fabulous.

First we did crayon rubbings of leaf shapes with green, black and blue crayons. We covered the paper in rubbings. Where there were white paces we used texture boards to fill in the spaces.

Next we used green and blue dye. The blue dye went over the green crayon and the green dye went over the black and blue crayon.

We  waited for the dye to dry.

While we waited we drew a large leaf shape on polystyrene, cut it out than using our pencil added some texture to the leaf.

Using white ink we rolled it on to the leaf and them stamped it on to the picture.

The result was AMAZING.
When the ink was dry , we made frames with black paper and silver stickers.
Come into the class and see the final results.
