Introduction to Printmaking: A Fun Journey!

Welcome, Young Artists!

G’day, kids! Today, we’re going to dive into the wonderful world of printmaking! Have you ever wondered how pictures can be made over and over again, just like magic? Well, that’s what printmaking is all about!

Let’s Get Creative!

A Surprise in the Box!

To kick off our lesson, I have a surprise for you! Under your seats, you’ll find small mystery boxes. Inside each box, there’s something special that will help you create a print. Take a minute to open your box and discover what’s inside!

What could it be? A sponge, a leaf, a piece of foam?

Talk About It!

Once everyone has opened their boxes, let’s sit in a circle and share!

• What did you find in your box?
• How do you think it could be used to create a print?

Let's Make Our Own Prints!

Now that we’ve shared our discoveries, I’ll show you how we can use these fun tools to create our very own art prints!

1. Choose Your Tool: Pick one item from your box.
2. Choose Your Colour: We have some colourful paints over here. Which colour inspires you?
3. Make Your Print: Dip your tool into the paint and press it onto your paper. Feel free to explore different patterns!

Why Printmaking?

Printmaking is a fantastic way to express yourself and share your creativity with others. Every print you make is unique – just like you!

Questions to Think About:

• How does using different tools change the print?
• What happens if you mix colours?
