The Finished Product!

A few weeks ago we went to the Surrey Art Gallery and had a tour of the Gallery.  After we had the opportunity to go into the studio and learn about printmaking.  We learned how to make a print.  The workshop was called Drawing on Diversity.  The artist taught us about symbols and how they represent things.  For example, when you see a red maple leaf it makes you think of Canada!   Each of us had to think of a symbol that would tell something about us.  We then drew our symbol on styrofoam.  Once that was done we used a brayer to roll paint across our "plate" then we put a coloured paper over top and rubbed it gently.  Some of us made several prints.  Mrs. Betts kept one from each of us to put on display in our classroom and the rest we took home.  Have you ever tried print making before?

Here is our display.  Can you tell what is important to some of us?

  1. Your prints were colourful and you all did a great job. I enjoyed the hockey stick because I am a real fan of hockey . I liked the colour of the flowers as I am getting ready to plant some baskets so hopefully my plants will be as colourful as yours !
    I am just learning to read your blogs - and am really impressed with your knowledge. I am sure I will learn a lot from you. Thank you
