Atelier Aquatic Drawing inspiration from life in the Ocean, to life on Earth
Positive and Negative Imprint
Art Education project on the theme of positive and negative shapes . We explored the technique of Screen Printing using paper stencils of the silhouettes of endangered sea creatures. We cut out the paper stencil so we had a positive and negative shape. We linked the positive attributes of animals and negative effects of humans to the theme of Endangered animals that may become extinct in our life time unless human habits change. We looked at the positive of the animal and negative of the threat. The theme is emphasised by the positive and negative printing effect we will use.
We learnt about:
- Screen printing
- How to make simple paper stencils using the silhouettes of images
- Using the silhouette of an image we can effectively get 2 designs from 1 paper cut
- Different creatures who live in the sea and what makes them special
- How we can conserve, protect and regenerate life in the Sea
- How we make money from the sea through eco-system services such as tourism, food and transport
- How we can use recycled materials to make Art
