Visual Art Ideas

23ú lá de mhí Marta 2020

Hiya,

Last month we discovered who invented the printing press. Can you kids remember?

Following on from this we were due to explore print in Visual Arts so we've attached some ideas below. We understand you may not have access to art supplies. These are just suggested activities. However, prints can be made using everyday household items so if you are giving it a go be creative and use your own imagination and innovation. Please photograph any designs or artwork you create because we'll have a new online media for you to post to after the Easter break.


Steps: etch, paint, print, repeat.

Etching into Styrofoam plates is an alternative option but less eco-friendly! 

Circle prints using toilet roll tubes, cups and bowls etc

Can you recall a famous painter renowned for using circles in his artwork?

Hint:

Answer: Wassily Kandinsky.

String Prints using...you guessed it string!!

Alternatives: toothpicks, match sticks (be careful!!), tightly rolled paper or lego.



Have fun, 
Sarah & Sally

Sally's Class Trip-Quavers to Quadratics

Hi Everyone, Happy New Year!! Our class is going to the National Concert Hall next Wednesday for an integrated science and music workshop from 8:45-2pm. The children are due back to the school grounds for collection at around 3pm. The bus costs 3euro (apologies I know you've just paid for the panto and have swimming money due soon too).
