This week we explored using our mark making on fabric in preparation for our banner and used a combination of printing and drawing for our designs. We used polystyrene tiles this time for printing and fabric paint. Impressing our marks into the polystyrene takes a little practice but we learned as we tried just exactly how hard or soft we needed to press to get the best print. We could chose whatever subject we liked but some of us picked subjects we have been learning about, such as castles, ships and trains. Add caption Aneasha drew the Carlisle Canal Basin on fabric with crayons - showing the castle and Dixon's chimney in the background. Well done - great concentration. Evan used crayons to show effects of weather, clouds, rain and tried a new technique called frottage - placing paper over a textured surface then rubbing over with a crayon to add interest to the sea. Well done Evan. A great print by Lexie After printin...
Chloe with Trade Triangle ship display On the 17th September, we went to Carlisle to meet with our friends in Creative Conversations again. We practiced singing Poverty Poverty Knock and learned a new song to sing about working in the mines. The following day we all met at Whitehaven Library for our opening event at 1 o'clock. Jac and Katie had set up two wonderful displays to show our fantastic work. We all sang our songs and got a loud round of applause! We then had juice and biscuits and were able to talk to our friends and families about what we had produced for our exhibition. Well done everyone - all your hard work has paid off and your exhibition is just amazing!
