Printing with everyday materials!

We have been getting creative in our Art to Start as we begin our new topic, Materials Everywhere! We explored the work of artist Erin Ricardo, who uses everyday objects and materials to create exciting prints, patterns and textures.

Inspired by her artwork, we had a go at becoming printmakers ourselves! We experimented with toy car wheels, bubble wrap, shapes, tin foil and lots of other everyday objects to see what different marks and patterns we could create. 

It was wonderful to see the children experimenting, exploring and discovering how ordinary objects can be used to create something extraordinary. We have some budding little artists in Year 1! 🌟
