Thursday 3rd July

Today was the last Artclub session this school year.
It gave us chance to have a bit of fun and experiment with the Safeprint blocks we have been using to make our "Andy Warhol" inspired prints.

So off we went and made some patterns...




...by spontaneously drawing on to the block. When repeating the print we could enhance the design by changing the direction of the print.




After we had made a print from the Safeprint block, that had been drawn on, we were encouraged to ink the block again, then lay flattish objects on the block to add experimental marks to the print.



From this technique we discovered some exciting effects.  This print looks as if the pattern has another layer behind it.


Some of us chose to create a picture and then overprint on to it. This is Elsa from the film "Frozen"


 Whilst others chose to start a picture, print it, make some changes and then keep printing as details were added.
