Printmaking, Texture, and Creative Trees

Continuing with our talks about the Elements of Art we learned more about Lines, Pattern and introduced Texture. 

Some classes worked on printmaking with leaves and paint. We talked about how the bumped up texture of the veins of the leaves made it so we could make prints.

We also talked about how artists use pattern to add Texture and detail. Students were able to use sharpies to add pattern to pre-printed leaves to show more texture. 

We learned the difference between texture and visual texture and talked about how artists use line, pattern and color to show visual texture.
