Strand unit: Making Prints
Content objective: This resource should enable a child to:
- experiment with more complex printmaking techniques
- make prints for functional uses (as well as for their own sake)
- use more complex print-making techniques to make theme-based or non-representational prints
Suggestions for use: Theory based. Some of the references could be too advanced for Primary needs but the basic information is good. Flash required so might not work with many devices.
