Covid-19 Pandemic printing project

• Produce a mind map related to the pandemic. Consider objects related to the Covid-19 pandemic and write down key words about your own experiences.

• Look at artist Andy Warhol and look at the repetitive prints: google Andy Warhol repetitive prints and select your most favourite print. Look at the artist Michael Craig Martin and google his still-life paintings Print them out and write about what you like about them. Place this information in your Mind map page.

• Use the mind map to find visual images that relate to the words you have written down (get 10 to 12 images) Produce a visual research page with your images and make drawings from the images.

• 2 colour foam print: Use your smaller printed image to produce a line drawing on the foam that I gave to you on Wednesday. Do not shade it.

• Bring in a paper blue mask to use it to print on.

• Use the images that you have from the pandemic visual research to develop an idea/ compositional line drawing to use for a print, based on the artist Michael Craig Martin. Draw 5 objects and trace the drawing on the other side of the paper. Use water colours or diluted acrylic paints to paint the objects using only flat colours/ no tone.

William Morris print: develop a composition which will then be flipped and repeated 4 times to create a William Morris print. You can select areas or sections from the 10 initial observational drawings.

Card and string print:

Use the same design that you did for the William Morris inspired design and trace it onto a piece of card and then glue string on top of the drawing.

Embossed drawing:

Use the cardboard printing plate to emboss the string onto paper. Use printing press and wet paper.
