WALT explore different printmaking conventions.
This week our class was participating in a contest that was called the "Festival Of Flowers". We had to make something that had to do with flowers.
Our class was making prints of the National flower in our Culture!
The first step was to sketch out the flower. Mine was a Heilala flower from Tonga. After we had finished sketching we had to put it onto a 10 by 10 cm square piece of paper. After doing that we had to then get card and trace over it with the sketch so that it would print onto the card.
When we had done that we had to cut out the pieces and then glue it onto a square cardboard piece the same size as the paper.
After doing that we had to get ink and a roller and roll the ink onto the prints. We had to work the ink because it was really stick and we had to make sure that it was even before we put it on. We had black and red ink.
After we had to practice first!
Now it was time for the final print...
We had to make six prints on this piece of paper and they had to be different colors every time we did a print.
Somethings that I found hard was when I was printing a lot of the pieces were falling off. But either than that it was really fun making these and I hope that we do it again!
