Painting pentagonal tessellations
As the first step in our print making learning we painted tessellations (of pentagons) in shades of green and yellow.
Our cardboard printing blocks were all about mini beasts so we thought that a background in these colours would look a bit like the bush or plants.
To create the shades, we used egg cartons to mix and blend 2 of the colours. To each colour we added water to give the paint a watercolour effect.
Once the printing blocks were finished we rolled out sticky black ink and printed the mini beasts onto their backgrounds. In a few days we will add some photos of our finished art. We think the effects are stunning! What do you think?
We also shared our art at the junior assembly!
