I can follow instructions of how to print

Main activity

Children this week will be printing the third layer and will be left with an image that has three colours to it. 

Looking at your design from last week in your sketch books decide what you want to stay the colour you printed last week. Children will need to carefully cut away the part of the plate that they want to keep the same as the second colour applied the previous week.

Ink up the plate using printing ink and roller with your third colour.  Lay the plate carefully on your print from last week lining up the print, children need to be careful not to mark the page with ink and leave enough room for children to create repeated print. Children then need to rub over the back of the plate with palm of their hand or use a clean roller to create an image transfer. Children should then lift the plate to reveal final three coloured print.

Paul Catherall inspired printing plan week 3

LI- To print my collograph board

Success Criteria

·         Designs for stencils are SIMPLE

·         Cut from the inside, not the edge of the card.

·         Use small amount of printing ink for collographs – less is more!

·         Take time to ink the block up carefully using a toothbrush in a circular motion

·         Think about how you could repeat your print – rotate etc

Main activity

First talk to children about printing being a repetition of pattern, can use short video clip to demonstrate this in map making. Look for repeated patterns etc.

Two activities are suggested for this session to make the printing process manageable in class.  Print collographs from last week. Children should be encouraged to think about their choice of colour for their print limiting their selves to three, using the colour wheel to help them thinking about harmonizing, complimentary or clashing colours. Children could be encouraged to pair up with another child who is printing in a different colour to put their prints together to create a city sky like.

Differentiation 

LA may need support with cutting.

MA may wish to make more than one stencil to overlap.

Resources

Rollers,

Tooth brushes,

Ink,

Collograph boards.

1.Using a roller, roll out the printers ink so that it is no longer tacky, it should be rolled out enough to look shiny but not matte.

2.Then again using the same roller roll the ink onto your printing plate until your plate is loaded with ink.

3.Being carful not to mark your page with ink preventing a clean image transfer place your plate on to your paper with the inked up part facing down.

4. Be sure to rub your hand over the entirety of the back of the plate to ensure a full image transfer. DO NOT RUSH THIS PART. As you can't once you have removed the plate re print over the transferred image.

5. Children once they have printed their own collograph board should share their boards with other children printing each others boards using bright colours to create a colourful printed sky line.

LI- To make a collograph board

Success Criteria

·         I have collected or am using a variety of different textures.

·         I can arrange the materials to make a design I am happy with.

·         I can repeat patterns.

Main activites

Children will be given a collection of Paul Catherall prints and famous landmarks from London and around kent. Children will first in their sketch books sketch a design for their print thinking in simple shapes, in the style of Paul Catherall working to simplify their images into simple prints. 

Children will then each need a thick piece of cardboard to act as printing block.  The blocks can be a variety of shapes and sizes.  Children should be encouraged to make choices.

Next children should cut the shapes from foam to create their printing block using their sketch to help . When happy with the shapes glue with LOTS of PVA!

Children should be encouraged to think about their choice of colour limiting their selves to three, using the colour wheel to help them thinking about harmonizing, complimentary or clashing colours.

Resources

Thick cardboard to make board,

Variety of textures,

PVA Glue,

Examples of work by Paul Catherall,

Images of famous landmarks in London and kent.

Step 1- Draw around the outside of your printing block in your sketch book.

Step 2- Sketch three different designs looking at London architecture. Designs should be very simplistic in the style of Paul Catherall.

Step 3- Sketch your design on to your foam, if you are using thin foam you will need to sketch your design twice and cut out both foam pieces.

Step 4- Once you have cut out your foam shapes of your design you will need to stick this on to your printing block using plenty of glue. Remember if you are using the thin foam you need to stick one piece of foam on top of the other piece on your block.
