More Screen Printing Fun!, originally uploaded by Helen Rawlinson.
This time the theme was shapes and snowflakes.
Notes to self: Get them to draw with pencil not coloured felt tips as the focus is on shape making and cutting, not colouring in. Also, felt tip transfers on to the screen which then transfers on to the next print. Less washing of screens and more printing is the key!
Black silhouette story board works best to get kids to understand the stencil/collage aspect.
Newsprint works best.
Hard work but fun!

Blogger is driving me a bit crazy at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI've just tried editing this after blogging from Flickr and now all my text has disappeared even though I can see it in edit mode! AGGGGHHHHH! So much for saving time.
Well here is the text for now.
