Bryan Nash Gill
Printing from Nature Using very simple techniques make prints from natural objects such as leaves, bark, twigs, grass or even try slicing some tree and burning it to release the texture. Roll water based printing ink on to the object and then place it underneath a piece of paper and work into with a spoon. My Year 6's loved this project and made many prints from objects they brought in themselves. |
Key words: Time, Nature, Life, Scar, Seasons, Growth
