We began painting with a very basic monoprint using a single colour and a cotton bud to scratch the design into the paint. We then worked with textures we might find around the home with repeat patterns, muffin tins, bubble wrap, netting, corrugated card to print onto our fabric and watercolour paper a background. As this dried, we worked quickly with multiple colours to paint a design of the child's own choosing onto the acrylic surface, pulling our final prints layered over the textural background. The signed works are abstract and beautiful! A special mention to all children in this class, your patience and manners while waiting for extra paint and a change of water was exceptional - great work young artists!
