Year 3 Collagraph Printing

This term, Year 3s are exploring print making. For our first art piece, students learning about collagraph printing (sometimes spelled collograph). In essence, a collagraph is a collage that is ink and printed. 

 Students took 2 classes to plan and create their collage. Year 3s used thick card stock and pva glue to build their collages.  They spent one class creating their two prints using white ink and black paper. 

 I am also teaching them to mount their art work, so they spent half a class mounting their art on cover paper using ruler lines and careful cutting! 

Year 5 and 6 Pieces

Prep Textured Collage

Preps were inspired by "Animals, Animals" by Eric Carle. We created our textured paper by mixing acrylic paint together.

Year 3 Final Landscape Piece

During the term, Year 3s learned how to create depth and distance in their art work. They used all the skills they learned and planned a final piece that consisted of 2 A5 pieces of paper. Students used watercolour crayons and pencils, soft pastel and ink. Lovely results! Work was inspired by nature and the Kitchen Garden Program at our school.
