In Art P5 have been using Styrofoam to create a snowman block print.  First we came up with an image of a snowman then transferred it onto the Styrofoam, pressing into it with a pencil to create an indent.

We then had a block which could be used to produce many prints and make Christmas cards. The class really enjoyed this project, learning about the process of rolling, inking and printing.

Here are the first prints they took from their block….

In Art P5 have been learning about the artist Eric Carle and trying to create mini beasts using his textures collage technique.

First, we researched and designed our mini beast before deciding on a shape.

We then explored paint and used different applicators to create different textures.

The following week we cut shapes, layered and collaged to create our mini beast.

To finish them off we used pipe cleaners and oils pastels.

Great work P5!
