Yesterday me and my group of six ( Will, Seren, Harvey, Lorcan, Eve) went to work with Ruth the artist. Our first activity was to make a printing plate. We made them by mixing two colours together with paint then rolling them out onto a plastic square sheet. Then we rolled the paint into a square on the plastic sheet with Ruth’s rollers.We then rolled it onto a piece of card so the card is completely covered, then we brought it to Ruths printing press. We put it in the smaller rectangle and then we put our drawings of birds down some paper and card, and then she put 1 or 2 thick materials on the top. We got to spin the wheel to press everything down(that was great).
When that went through the whole thing, we lifted all the paper off and other fabrics and there it was….. a wonderful piece of art.
I LOVED IT !!!!
