For art this week we had to create a print with foam. How we did this is we created a pattern of the Matariki stars but backward so it would print the right way. Next, we re-drew it onto the foam once we did that we were ready for printing. How the printing worked was he had a printing station in the maker space that had all the different inks and all the paper we needed to print. In the printing station, we had to choose our colour and use a paint roller to roll the ink onto our foam. The side we put the in onto was the side we re-drew our stars on. We were able to do multiple prints all with different colors and a new piece of foam. once we had our selected pallet and the paper ready we flipped the foam over so the in was facing down Then we put it onto the paper. We used our hands and some hammers that were supervised by the teachers to beat the foam onto the paper so it would transfer all the ink. Once we were done we carefully pulled the foam off and washed it so we could put it into the rubbish. As soon as the foam was clean our print was made and set to dry. Once it dried we made the frames and hung them up on the wall. Have you ever done foam printing? please tell me in the comments. Have a great day.
