Their Task was to:
To draw an X-Ray animal onto a poly
block, then roll out the ink onto the table.
Roll the ink evenly onto the tiles, press down onto the paper to make a successful poly block print.
Today they designed and created their own prints using polystyrene tiles. The students were very enthusiastic about this session and did not want to stop! We had 30 students all printing at the same time and they were all very excited and pleased with the work they produced.
