    This week we are going to have a break from your painting and have a go at making a clay sculpture.  Because it is the Year of the rabbit, I found this tutorial on line of how to make a regal creature.  Using a rabbit face and  ears, have fun with the texture boards and tools to create your own regal rabbit.  You have two sessions to make the rabbit, then it will get fired in the school kiln.  You will then have a further two sessions to decorate your rabbit.

    Quirky cactus


    Task:

    Steps to creating your print.


    • Complete cutting all of the patterns and lines into your lino block

    • Check that you have a variety of thick and thin lines, shapes hollowed out and that your lines are as tidy as they can be.


    • (Measure 5 cm from the top and 5cm from the left side  (the right hand side will be a bit bigger).  Rule your squares very lightly.  Make sure you have a cross in the corner of your print block so that you know where to place it on the paper.


    • Inking your block up requires patience and careful rolling

    • Use a 2-3 cm length of printing ink on the middle of your printing block

    • Roll the rubber brayer (roller) back and forth over the ink until it is sounding tacky.

    • (too much ink will cause slipping and too little ink will not be enough for a balanced coverage)



    • When it sounds tacky, roll the ink across your printing block.  

    • Continue until all of your printing block is covered and there is an even amount of ink across it.

    • Carefully place your block on your registered paper.  Hold your hand on top and get your other hand underneath and flip the paper without moving the block.

    • Use the ball of your clenched hand to smooth and apply pressure all over the block to get the ink to transfer.

    • Make sure you spend time going around the edges.

    • Carefully remove paper and put it straight on the drying rack. (Your name should be on it)
