Year 9 – Art – Autumn 2
In Autumn 2, year 9 were asked the question: What is print making?
They were introduced to some of the techniques in printmaking and looked at some of these methods in practice by artist Delita Martin.
We incorporated the Mexican festival ‘All Souls’ Day’, or ‘Day of the Dead’. Students looked at sugar skull art by Thaneeya McArdle before designing their own sugar skull.
After experimenting with carving and printing with Styrofoam, the students then used their sugar skull designs to create final prints.
Throughout Autumn 2 the students built upon annotating and evaluating both their own work and art by other artists.
