Hello, everyone.
Welcome to lesson five, the final lesson in our printmaking unit.
Wow, so far in this unit we've done all sorts of printmaking.
We've made rubbings, look for patterns in all sorts of places, we have drawn the patterns, we have made prints from found objects around our homes, we've made an awful lot of patterns that have been repeated and rotated.
We've made our own stamps for printing and made a special type of stamp called a collagraph stamp.
Today, we're going to be reviewing and presenting our work.
And we'll be looking at the work of an artist to see how they review and present their work.
During this lesson, we'll be reviewing our printmaking work so far.
That means looking back, seeing how it's gone, what could work better, what went well, and changing our minds as we go.
And maybe having another go at some of the techniques I've shown you during the lessons.
We'll be making collages from our prints.
And we'll be thinking about how we can present our work, maybe by adding a title to it.
For the lesson today, you need some paper, some glue, and some scissors.
This look at our star words that we've had.
Today, It's a review of the words we've had before in the previous lessons.
Say them with me; Printmaking, motif, stamp, collage collagraph, texture.
And today we're going to be looking at the word review.
Can you remember, that I say review your work means to look back on it and decide what was good and what you can improve on.
Let's check our understanding of the words and the processes so far.
Can you match the words on the left with the pictures on the right with me.
Let's have a look at them together.
Reading the words down from the top of the page collagraph, rubbing, texture, motif, and collage.
Can you point to the pictures that go with the words.
Let's have a look at some of them together.
I've jumbled them about.
Let's look at rubbing first.
Can you point to rubbing? That's right.
It's in the middle there.
Can you remember when we did the rubbings of all of the different textures around our homes? Collagraph.
There's the collagraph at the top.
The collagraph is what we made last lesson, Wasn't it? It's a type of stamp that has a texture on the surface.
Texture.
Can you see the picture that shows a texture? That's right.
It's that wall, Isn't it? That's a very rough textured surface.
Collage.
Can you see the picture that shows a collage? Of course.
It's the picture at the bottom? Isn't it? It's from my sketchbook.
It's a collage aboard of my rubbings.
And the last word is motif.
That's the hard one, so I left it till the end.
So the motif is a shape we use in printmaking.
Can you point to it on the screen? Well done, there it is.
It's those triangles in this case, isn't it? Let's have a look at an artist's work.
This artist is called Natascha Maksimovic Have a good look at them.
What can you see in them? Can you see some shapes that you recognise or even some numbers or some letters? The first one is called.
Hello? Johnny looks like a little man with a little cart.
Doesn't it? And the second one is called.
Hello, Charlie.
What does that remind you of? have a good look.
That's right.
I think it looks like a clown or a funny little man doing some juggling.
Doesn't it? What letters and numbers did you spot? Tell me now.
Fantastic.
Did you spot the 'J' in hello Johnny? Yeah that's right.
It's one of his legs and feet.
Isn't it? It's really clever.
How Natasha has used a letter to be a body part for the little man.
I think this is a really fun way to use printmaking.
Here's some more of Natasha's work.
The first one is called hello, Bean.
It's lots of shapes and letters put together to make it look like a man is whispering.
The second one is called hello, Kitty.
And you can see why can't you? It's a little cat's face.
These prints made me laugh and I really liked the way they all have a similar title.
Hello, something.
We're going to use that idea borrow it from Natasha to use for our work today.
Your task today is to make collages from all of your pieces of printmaking that you've already made.
Maybe your pieces of rubbings as well, all the off cuts all the pieces that you didn't stick into your sketchbook.
You can also make some new pieces of printmaking to use for your collages today.
You're going to need your paper, glue and scissors for this part.
Don't stick them down though, until you're completely happy.
There are so many different ways you can move them around.
See if you can make some faces or maybe some funny people out of all of your collage pieces.
I've made a short video showing how I made lots of funny faces out of collage pieces that I had left over that weren't stuck into my sketchbook.
Okay.
So we're going to start to use all of our printmaking and rubbings good work that we've done to put some of it together.
These are the bits that aren't in my sketchbook yet and I'm going to put them together to to make a collage a little bit like Natasha does.
Okay.
So, this step you're going to need your scissors and a collection of all the bits and pieces that you've made already.
So I'm going to start, I think, by looking at the bits that I liked the best, some I've already cut out and I think some we can cut out and some we can use, maybe if you wanted a background pattern you could use perhaps one of your rubbings, like I've got here.
And I think though, at the moment, I'm going to start with some of these bits that I've already cut out.
Lots of Natasha's work.
It makes me think of funny faces.
So I think that that's what I'm going to start with because that's quite a lot of fun.
I've got these leaves here.
I've got two that are printed together, cut out together.
Can you see where they've overlapped? Blue and yellow have made green they're in the middle and then I've actually got another green leaf.
So I'm going to put those together to make some sort of funny hair, I think at the moment.
And then I've got these keys.
They could be eyes or they could be ears, whichever way up.
I quite like them as eyes for this one.
And then I've got this Apple, which I really like is one of my favourite motifs, the Apple or half the Apple.
So I think that looks like a great big a mouth or maybe a great big pair of lips with an open mouth that way.
Then I suppose we could use the leaves like this for years.
Couldn't we? It's a sort of creature and a kind of a person I'm not really sure what it is but it's fun to do.
I think if I wanted to add something in like a nose I'm just going to take one of these little pieces off here and this rubbing because I love these shapes.
I think these were from a radiator and there we are.
We can rearrange them again for as we need to.
Keep changing our minds.
It really doesn't matter how many times we do it.
I think I prefer it without these.
So I'm going to move those away but I might add those red leaves into the hair.
Cause I think they look pretty exciting like that.
So I think for now, this is my first collage.
I might rearrange them though and change my mind.
This is reviewing our work all of the time and it's what artists do constantly throughout their work.
I know that my friend Natasha does it a lot when she's making her collages from her prints.
Now it's your turn.
Make collages by cutting around some of your prints and pieces of rubbing into shapes to make some funny faces pause the video.
Off you go.
Can you show me your collages? Which one was your favourite? And why was it? hold them up so that I can see.
Oh, well done.
They look amazing.
I can see how you've placed together all of the pieces from your prints and from your rubbings to make some really great collages.
Well done.
I'm going to show you some of my favourites now that I made.
My very best favourite is the one here on the left.
Can you see what his face is made from? That's right.
It's a little man with an Apple for his face.
I cut the Apple in half and printed with it.
He made me laugh.
He looks like a funny little man.
And then I added a triangle for his moustache.
Can you see it? Which one is your favourite out of my collages? It's really good to say what we think about other people's work.
We remember some rules when we do that.
We're kind, we're helpful.
And we're specific.
So we say things like, I really liked the way you've chosen to use the Apple for the face.
Mrs. Tom.
I was wondering how our prints are different to Natasha's.
Have a look at the two sets of prints.
Some of mine some of Natasha's.
That's right.
Ours are different.
Aren't they? Because we've used lots of colours for printmaking.
Natasha has just used black on white paper for hers I rather liked the way that we've used lots of colours.
Don't you? Now.
We're going to do the really important job of giving our work a title.
Lots and lots almost all professional artwork has a title.
So this print, remember this one from Natasha.
This one's called Hello, Johnny.
Can you remember why it was called Hello Johnny? I think Natasha called it.
Hello Johnny.
Because of the 'J' in his leg, it makes me laugh.
Can you give your creations some titles now? Maybe you could make them funny.
Maybe if you're stuck for an idea you could start with hello, something.
Pause the video and have a look at your collage faces or people and see if you can give them some titles.
Well done.
How did you get on? That was funny.
Wasn't it? I wondered if you would be able to help me to think of a title for my favourite collage artwork today.
Here he is.
It's the man with the Apple face.
Let's have a think.
See what you come up with.
I want something that goes with the Apple.
Cause I think that's the most important bit.
What about hello, Mr.Pip? Do you like it? I like that idea.
I think I'm going to stick with that.
So this artwork is now called.
Hello, Mr.Pip.
Bye Mrs.Tom.
Well, it's time to exhibit our work.
I feel proud of my work and I hope you do too.
So we're going to find a way to exhibit it.
It might be that you've get some of your leftover cardboard from the different lessons or from your recycling and make some simple cardboard frames to exhibit your work.
Cut some strips out of the cardboard and arrange them around the edge of the work to make a frame.
Or you could pin some of your favourite artworks to your fridge.
So you could make a small kitchen exhibition for your parents or carers or you could put them all into your sketchbook and then invite your parents and carers, family and friends to have a look at your sketchbook.
If you'd like to share your work with Oak National today then the details are on the screen.
Always remember to ask your parents or carer to do this for you.
I have so enjoyed our printmaking lessons together everybody well done.
You've become fantastic printmakers over the course of just five lessons.
And I hope that like me, you've made lots and lots of artwork that you're proud of, but most importantly you had lots of fun and learn something new.
We learned about making our own stamps.
We learnt about making a collagraph stamp which is a very difficult thing to do.
We also learned about how we can have fun with the stamps and the prints that we've made to make some funny collages.
Art doesn't have to be serious.
Does it? We've also learnt how we can present our artwork so that we can show other people how proud we are of it.
Well done.
You're now officially printmakers professional printmakers.
Thank you so much for joining me for these lessons.
I hope to see you again.
Bye bye.
