This is a key stage 3 project where students do a polyprint on fabric using printing inks. This is a short 6 week project but could be developed to incorporate embellishments and sewing skills to fabric. I did this with year 8 and it took 6 weeks. Student enjoyed the outcome and it could have been made into a cushion for each student but we made a class fabric wall hanging. (There is a second Powerpoint in a Bundle which has all the pictures used for students to work from - A-Z of nature pictures) Artists used: Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel Resources required Polyprint blocks Printing ink Rollers Tables to roll out on Fabric square per child Paper for test prints Research sheet for drawings and artist research. Project schedule 6 weeks The resources for the students to work from. Each student chooses what they would like to draw. The steps to take while making the print and examples of student’s outcome. Students begin by researching Angie Mitchell and Ernst Haeckel and make up a sheet with these two artists and their drawings. The drawings they do of one of the pictures of the slide pictures of animals and bits of nature from A-Z. Students choose which animal or fish or plant they would like to draw. Students spend time doing a detailed drawing and design a border pattern for this work in black and white. Success criteria of drawings To use fine lines and to capture quality detail To concentrate on negative and positive shapes To develop a border pattern from nature around the drawing To try to layer up your drawing with foreground and background shapes The students drawings are then photo-copied and transferred to the polyprint block. Students use the photocopy to press through onto polyboard. The students are given a square and a strip of polyprintboard . Students first of all experiment printing on paper with their design and border. Students can do a black and white print or do a polyprint print of two colours overlaying their inks. The slide presentation gives you also opportunities for reflection and evaluation of outcome at the end. I have presented my artists in my book I have compared the works of 2 nature artists I have written a short paragraph on the style of artists I have a careful line drawing of my subject I have created my own artwork based on my research of subject colour I have a plan for my print design and have written about relief printing I have tested working with polyprints Student outcome is a wall-hanging and we sewed all the students outcomes together to make a fabric collage of squares.

To explain various printing techniques - like relief printing, mono-printing and silkscreening.

There are various historical examples to show the early print works and how they developed. Also linking to projects for students to get ideas to develop their own work. Each printing technique has You Tube clips with specific tasks in the presentation. Student tasks - to write a definition for each style of print. Students to make a presentation in books. Heading in book Stick in your prints when they are totally dry What is … printing? What types of . _____are there? E.g additive, subtractive? Give an example a print artist. Describe your print process. Did you find it difficult or easy.? Do you like the quality of your printing? There is a detailed explanation of each of these three types of printing for students to copy and very informative to support printing techniques. Good for KS 3 but also at GCSE.

This is the final part of a series of Still-life lessons where students do drawings in different techniques and then make a mod-roc outcome. In this powerpoint the students go to a computer room and do a presentation on the artist LOUISE NEVELSON and then make a mod-roc outcome. Steps are showing how to make the mod-roc relief and criteria for success with this medium. Students then evaluate their mod-roc outcome by doing a tonal drawing of this and reflect on the outcome Computer room research: Louise Nevelson - students write and answer the questions and resource information on this artist. After making the mod-roc students evaluate their mod-roc outcome and do a drawing of your outcome and as a group discuss how they will as a group present their own work like Louise Nevelson. Learning Objectives: To explore developing a relief surface of an area of my still -life drawing and develop this in mod roc technique To build a mod –roc outcome looking at relief techniques To in a group build your Modroc into a standing tower with the rest of the group. Do a study of the artist Louise Nevelson and present her work by doing an artist study of her work. Complete the project by doing an evaluation of their mod-roc relief sculpture and do a pencil drawing of this
