Does your printmaking look like the picture?
Example of printmaking using a potato or a sponge
For those who like a challenge!
Think about how you were moving. You might have noticed a pattern of 'long, short' for 'gallop' and an even 'short, short' for 'trotting'.
How does this remind you of the artwork ‘Composition with red, blue and yellow’ (1930) by Mondrian with its patterns and shapes?
Make another artwork using different sizes of squares just like Mondrian used. You will need to use a ruler to make your lines straight, a black pencil and some textas if you have them.
What patterns and shapes can you see?
