The grade 9's went to the 'This is not a Print' exhibition as part of their Print and Pattern project. They observed all the different types of print making by some of the best known print makers such as David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns. The students then made their own observations by drawing and reflecting on their favourite exhibits. This was a vital part of their analysis in the project. The prints were all very varied and it was interesting to see how the medium can be manipulated into many forms such as three dimensional sculpture. I hope that this will enable the students to diversify their designs and push the boundries of the media. I look forward to seeing how their own printmaking develops. They are currently working on a reduction lino print.
