Paul Catherall inspired printing plan week 2

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.

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.
