Saturday morning art

We did some polyprinting this morning! This is a quick and easy art project which produces such an effective result. Children love the magical process of 'revealing' the image..

All you need is a polystyrene tile, printing ink or paint, a pen,
 ink roller and paper. First, draw your picture or
pattern on the soft tile. Press down to create an indentation.

Roll ink on to the surface of the tile, thinly and evenly.

Place the paper on the wet tile, press/rub evenly - et voila!

We worked into the the tile more and added a second

 layer of colour. We'll definitely be framing this one!

Teachers' strike day

With many teachers taking industrial action all over the country today, we thought we would get the creative box out for the afternoon and do a bit of 'art homeschooling'!
