This week in Indigo Class we continued with our fish-themed printmaking project, inspired by local artist Nicola Elstone’s work. We cut our designs from last week into a piece of lino, which was very fiddly and required a lot of patience and perseverance! Once the designs were complete, we created a series of prints onto thin cardboard, trying out various colour combinations. We finished by printing two of our chosen colourways onto a piece of cotton, ready to develop as a textiles project.
Indigo class started their Arts Award journey this week with a visit to the ESCartists exhibition at Stamford Arts Centre. It was a great way to launch the Arts Award course, as the first part of the award is all about discovering the arts around us and recognising just how many art forms there are. We spotted ceramics, textiles, printmaking, painting, sculpture, metalwork and glass, amongst others- all in the same room! We also picked up information about other art forms at the Arts Centre, including theatre, dance and music. We came away feeling really inspired and looking forward to having a go at creating our own versions of some of the artwork we saw.
