Session 1: Session title



Session 3 Printing a borderNational CurriculumArt: Explore ideas to improve mastery of art and design techniques (printing); Begin to evaluate and analyse their work.Teaching ObjectivesTo perfect the technique of printing individual small squares and review progress, analysing style and technique.ResourcesSeveral photographs of completed printed mosaics by year 4 chn (from previous years); Examples of mosaics (session resource). Visual access to the border-practice strips printed in session 2 (either on display or available); Wooden printing sticks as used last session; Some printing sticks with a smaller end (slithers of balsa work well or cut polystyrene); Printing rollers; Trays; Poster paint; White pencil crayons; Some card border templates 60cm X 9cm; A large sheet of sugar paper per child (60cm X 45cm); Dark colours like black or brown work really well as the gaps between the printed tiles look like mortar.Whole class: Before the lesson set up tables ready to print. Each table will need 3 colours of paint, each in a tray with a roller, and printing sticks (as above). As the chn are working on large pieces of paper, you may have issues with the amount of space needed to have all the children printing at the same time. If so, consider running a parallel activity* (see session 4) that requires very little or no table space and swap chn between the activities during the session. Remind the chn that we are each going to print our own mosaic picture today beginning with the border. Show the photographs of completed printed mosaics, from year 4 last year or session resource. Do they look like Roman mosaics? Draw attention to the different borders and the squares created at the corners. Demonstrate how to use a card border template to draw a 9cm border around the edge of a 60 X 45cm piece of sugar paper (a white pencil crayon shows up well). This marks the inner edge of the border. Show how to print a continuous line of “tiles” along the inside of the 4 drawn lines in a single colour. Stress the importance of remembering to hold down the paper with the fingers of the free hand and remind chn of the mantra - Keep in line, keep it close but leave a little gap. Look back at the photographs and identify the 4 border lines on each. Tell the chn that once they have printed their 4 border lines, they will be ready to begin printing their border and corners. Draw attention to the practice strips created last session to help finalise their choice of 3 colours and design.Easy/Medium/HardChn to begin task by marking their border using the card template and white pencil. This works well as a paired activity with one child holding down the template against the edge of the paper whilst their partner draws the border. Chn can then swap roles on the 2nd sheet of paper. Next they will print the 4 border lines as demonstrated and move onto printing their border. They will need to be reminded that when changing colour they should wash the stick or change to clean one. Some chn may wish to use a printing stick with a smaller end occasionally to give finer definition.Teacher to support as needed.The printing of borders can be time consuming and chn may need several sessions to complete them.PlenaryIt is helpful to review progress on the borders frequently and to allow chn to view them from a distance as it is sometimes hard to appreciate the full effect from close up. Attach 3 or 4 to the white board with sticky tack. Praise those who have remembered the mantra - Keep in line, keep it close but leave a little gap. Discuss colour choices and designs.OutcomesChildren willMake informed choices on colour and design based on prior knowledge and experiencePrint a neat repeating border design with good techniqueEvaluate and analyse their work and that of others*Session 4 has been provided specifically as a parallel and complementary activity to this session. ................
