Last term's art refletion

Last term for art the Whetu team did lino cuts with different teachers. We all got to pick or art groups. The art teacher's and art groups are Mrs M was doing flowers, Miss Sixsmith was doing birds, Mrs Barker did houses and Mrs Heaven did Pacifica. This is how we made them. First we looked on the internet to find some pictures of flowers to have a look and trace off. Then we picked our design and drew it nicely on a piece of paper. Then we got a lino cut and pinned it to the lino cut. After that we coloured the back of the paper that we did our design on. The picture came up on our lino cut. Then we got a carver and carved out the pencil lines. You had to put your hand behind the carver so you don't hurt your self. When you have done that you get some ink and put your lino cut on a piece of paper. Then you roll a roller in the ink and roll it on your lino cut. After that you get a piece of paper and put the paper on the lino cut. Then you get a clean roller and roll the roller on the paper so that the sides and edges are covered with ink. Then you take the piece of paper off the lino cut and let it dry. After that you go to the sink and wash your lino cut with a scrub brush. Then you can ether put it out in the sun or blow dry it. After that you can do as many prints as you want. That is how you make a lino cut.
