Welcome to our art class!
In this class, we're going to be exploring different ways to create art using printmaking, drawing, and silhouettes. We'll start by learning some basic drawing skills, like how to draw from observation and how to use different tools to create interesting textures and marks. We'll also learn about printmaking, which is a way to make multiple copies of the same design. We'll experiment with different printmaking techniques, like mono-printing and relief printing. We'll also learn how to create silhouettes, using a variety of techniques to create them, including tracing, shadow cutting, and paper cutting.
By the end of this class, you'll have a collection of your own unique artworks that showcase your creativity and your new skills in printmaking, drawing, and silhouettes. You'll also have developed your ability to observe and analyse the world around you, and to express your ideas through visual art.
