Bird Collograph Prints
During Term 1, the Year 3 girls explored printmaking. They began the unit by investigating what printmaking was and then explored their subject matter for their printing plate which was birds. Once they had completed their illustration of their chosen bird, they then used a variety of materials such as corrugated card, lace, doilies and brown card to create collages of their feathered friends that focused on using different textures. Once complete the plates were sealed and then the girls learnt how to apply ink and printed their birds onto paper through a press. The girls then wrote their artist statements and assisted eachother in the filming of them.
