Lesson details
Key learning points
- A monoprint results in only one distinct print, making it a unique work of art.
- Artists sometimes choose to use complementary opposite colours to draw the viewer's attention to their artwork.
- Artists may vary text sizes in a concrete poem to highlight specific words or phrases they wish to emphasise.
Keywords
Concrete poem - a type of poem where the arrangement of words creates a visual image
Monoprint - a printing method to create a single, unique print
Complementary colours - pairs of colours positioned opposite each other on the colour wheel that, when used together, create strong contrast and visual impact
Common misconception
Complementary colours are located next to each other on the colour wheel.
Remind children that complementary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel, not next to each other. This opposite placement is what creates their high contrast and visual vibrancy when paired.
Equipment
Oil pastels, photographs of children taken in previous lesson printed to approximate shoebox size, poems drafted in previous lesson, ballpoint pens, masking tape.
