Well this morning was a mad house! After demonstrating the printing process to 5 – 7 year old, I turned the floor over to them. And I must say they did very well. Not one bit of ink got on the floor and plenty of ink did get on the templates. The colours turned out amazing as they printed more than four different coloured prints each.
Where do you put so many pieces of paper with printers ink on them? All I can say is… ‘thank-goodness for the old clothes rack’. The children pegged their own work up to dry as they printed them.
Key competency skills were displayed thick and fast.
Thinking: problem solving, reflecting on their artwork and oral communication,.
Managing self: having the attitude to ‘give it a go’. Being motivated to try different combinations of colour and by following the process.
Relating to others: discussing other peoples artworks, helping and encouraging each other.
Participating and contributing: being part of the group keeping the work environment tidy and helping clean up.
Next learning (creative session):
Take a couple of the dried prints and rip them up. Reassemble the image by mixing up the different coloured pieces and mounting them on to card. What creative artworks can be produced?
