Printing at the Pier!

Yesterday we went to the Pier Arts Centre to take part in a workshop with the staff there.  Here we are getting ready to look at some artwork and create some art of our own.  In the background you can see the piece of art which was used to inspire us! 

We created a print as our piece of art.  First a group had to make the background.  We used very thick paint and rollers to make our prints on fabric. 

Then the next two groups added on details by making patterns in polystyrene and then putting the paint on them and using the roller to press the paint onto the fabric.  We thought about designs like the sea and we also thought about symmetrical patterns as we have been learning about symmetry in maths!

It was a great experience and we are very thankful to the Pier Arts Centre for letting us come and make such a great piece of artwork.  The pieces which P2 and the rest of the school have made will be on display from this Saturday with the preview beginning at 2pm!  Come along and see what you think of our work!
