Year 9 Printmaking Unit
Throughout this unit, students developed their skills in a range of art forms including drawing, printmaking and collage. At Year 9 level, I have placed a strong focus on art theory, and a large component of this task was focused on research of printmaking techniques and student research on print making artists.

Throughout this task, a strong emphasis was placed on brainstorming, trials and refinement of drawings when preparing for the lino cut. A stronger emphasis was then placed on experimentation with collage when students had produced a lino block.
