Naomi is an experienced Secondary School Art Teacher and was generous enough to offer to come into school to work with the children whilst they are doing their new art unit: Printing. We listened well and learned how to design, evaluate and improve our print, and got over our fears of making mistakes (after all, Da Vinci didn't use rubbers!). Once that was done, we transferred our designs onto a polytile and then used a ball point pen to compress the styrofoam to create valleys and ridges on the tile, making sure they were deep enough but not so far that it ripped through the tile. After that, Naomi took us out in groups to 'ink up' the tiles and we all learned a handy little song to help us prepare the ink: "Going one way, or another...!" Whilst small groups of children were ouotside printing, the rest of us continued with our pointillism project and worked hard to add tone and shading to our paintings. There were many technical skills involved throughout today's session and the children did such a great job at listening to instructions and working more independently as their confidence grew! Well done, year 6!
