The Pioneers made a start on investigating printing, making marks with all kinds of loose parts. They chose colours and shapes and arrangement. Some created pictures. Others explored pattern and repetition. Some were creative with their application of colour and the materials used, applying paint to a paper towel and developing this.
We looked at the work of Andy Warhol involving layers of colour and noted the need to let each layer dry. By the end of the session everyone had a better understanding of how much paint was too much paint. This is often difficult to gauge.
The elves, who arrived after Christmas also made a few demands, asking for printing in red and black and green. It is a good job that we have just learned the ee digraph so we were able to read their letter!
