KS1 Art – Simple Print Making
Year 1 and 2 have begun their new art topic this week: simple print making. In their first lesson, the children explored how to use materials creatively by designing and making prints using parts of their bodies.
The children used only their fingers and hands to create their artwork and were challenged to work with just the primary colours – red, yellow and blue. They experimented with pressing, dabbing and mixing colours to create different patterns and effects.
It was a very messy afternoon, but the children had great fun and produced some amazing artwork. Take a look at the fantastic prints on our class page that they created using only their fingers and hands!
