I know I have been very remiss at updating my blog of late and I must apologise profusely. However, I have been rather busy working on my bacterial plates piece and also working in a school teaching year 7 and 8 students art. I thought I'd share some images with you to show you what I've been up to....These images show all the plates now completed going from left to centre and then below is the right hand side.
This is the best image I managed to get of them all together...
As for working at the school- we have been looking at sea creatures like jelly fish, sea anemones, coral, etc as a starting point. Then from drawings we made of shape and pattern found in these creatures, we have created collagraphic prints printing in red and then over printed in black. Here are a couple of examples that the students created...
After the printing we moved on to making 3-d weavings based on sea anemones like the ones below, the top one is my example and the following two were made by students....
I have also been making lots of things for Christmas presents some of which I will blog about in the New Year but not yet as the recipients may see the blog post!!! Merry Christmas to you all.
