Inuit Print Making In-School Art Activity

On Thursday April 2, an Art teacher from the Mc Michael Art Gallery came to teach us about print making! It was very fun and our class really enjoyed this activity! First, we took a trip upstairs to the BIG Art room! Up there, we looked at many samples of Inuit Art. Using the samples as inspiration, we drew our pictures. Then we used our pencils to carve our picture into a piece of "scratch foam." When the lines were deep enough, we coloured our pictures using water coloured markers. The teacher put a piece of wet paper over the foam and she used a special tool called a "Brayer" to roll over our Art. The colours on our foam transferred over to the new piece of paper and it created a beautiful print!
