Fish Prints

Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on some fish prints. These took a long time to finish because there were various steps involved!
First we had to create a block out of cardboard. We traced an outline of a fish's body onto card, cut this out and then glued it onto another piece of card. Then we had to add fins, eyes and other details. This is what they looked like:


The next part was messy and we had to wear our art aprons! We had to spread ink all over our fish blocks using a roller. We had to make sure we covered the whole block.



When the ink was on Miss Brookshaw helped us put a piece of paper over the top of the block! We used another dry roller to roll over the top and then peeled the paper off. This is what some of the finished prints look like:




Soon all our beautiful prints will be on display in our classroom for our parents to see!
